Episode Details

The New York Mets have sent infielder Ronny Mauricio to Triple-A Syracuse, benching him for the opening day backup spot. Despite a solid spring, the team aims to have him play daily in Syracuse with everyone healthy. Mauricio previously filled in at shortstop for Francisco Lindor, who returned from hand surgery. Manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized the need for Mauricio to gain regular playing time, especially with the lineup set. Last season, Mauricio had limited playing time due to injuries and was kept on the roster to preserve his minor league option. The Mets may opt to use Bo Bichette as a backup shortstop, providing Mauricio with a clear path to regain strength in Syracuse.
