Ronny Mauricio Fantasy Stats

The New York Mets announced on Thursday that they optioned infielder Ronny Mauricio to Triple-A Syracuse. Mauricio's only real chance to be on the Opening Day roster was if shortstop Francisco Lindor (hand) wasn't ready after having hamate-bone surgery last month. The offseason additions of Marcus Semien and Bo Bichette make it more difficult for the 24-year-old to find a significant role on the infield in the Big Apple in 2026. Mauricio will bide his time in the minors to begin the year before hopefully getting the call eventually to serve as additional infield depth at the major-league level. He swung the bat well in Grapefruit League play, hitting .313/.389/.531 with five RBI, three runs, and two stolen bases in 13 games played. The Dominican infielder missed all of 2024 after having surgery on his knee and then hit .226/.293/.369 with six homers, 10 RBI, 19 runs, and four steals in 61 games played in 2025. While being buried in a crowded infield picture with the Mets, Mauricio is really only a stash candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues, but even there, his star is fading quickly.

New York Mets starting shortstop Francisco Lindor (hand) underwent surgery to fix a broken hamate bone in his hand on Wednesday and might not be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season. With Lindor sidelined this spring, infielders Ronny Mauricio, Vidal Brujan, Grae Kessinger, and Jackson Cluff will take reps at shortstop. The Mets plan to leave Bo Bichette at third base for now. After missing all of 2024 due to a torn ACL in his knee, Mauricio struggled at the plate in 61 major-league games, hitting .226/.293/.369 with a .663 OPS, six home runs, 10 RBI, 15 walks, and 54 strikeouts in 184 plate appearances. The 24-year-old former top prospect is running out of time to make an impact in New York, and even if he does earn the starting nod at shortstop on Opening Day, Lindor isn't expected to miss extended time early on.

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio recorded a monster game on Sunday night in his team's 5-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants. The 24-year-old top prospect went 4-4 with a home run, double, and two RBI. Mauricio has been earning more regular playing time of late at third base, which could be indicative of the Mets' post-deadline plans at the position. His .761 OPS is better than the Mets' other options at third base in Mark Vientos (.640) and Brett Baty (.710), and both of those players have been floated as potential trade chips as the Mets look to upgrade their pitching staff. Mauricio grades out as a positive defender with multi-positional versatility, and he's recorded five home runs and three stolen bases in 122 plate appearances this season.

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio is hitting just .237/.311/.409 with four home runs on the season in 93 at-bats, but he has a .797 OPS in his last 15 games. Mauricio has a very high ceiling and hits the ball very hard when he makes contact, but his main flaw has been to chase pitches out of the strike zone. To improve in that area, the 24-year-old has spent time working in the cages before games with star right fielder Juan Soto, according to The Athletic's Will Sammon. In addition to his plate discipline, Mauricio has also shown improvement on defense. He has been seeing consistent at-bats between third and second base, and if his plate discipline improvements continue into the second half, the Dominican switch-hitter could be an integral piece for the Mets as they look to make a deep postseason run. How the Mets feel about Mauricio could determine what they do at the trade deadline.

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers at Citi Field. Mark Vientos is at third base and is hitting sixth, while Brett Baty will start at the keystone and bat in the nine-hole against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta. Mauricio, who is playing in just his second MLB season after debuting for the Mets in 2023, is likely going to continue to find consistent playing time in Queens now that Vientos is back from his hamstring injury. The 24-year-old Dominican infielder has also hit jut .224 (15-for-67) with three home runs, five RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases while striking out 22 times and walking five times in 20 games this year. It's possible that he could be sent back down to Triple-A Syracuse so that he can continue to play regularly.

New York Mets second baseman Ronny Mauricio went 2-for-3 in his team's 13-5 road win against the Colorado Rockies. The Mets' No. 9 prospect singled twice, walked twice, scored twice, and stole a base. Mauricio picked up a base knock and scored a run in the top of the second, then did so again in the third, adding a steal this time -- the second since his call-up. After two 0-for-4 efforts, he's picked up at least one hit in three straight games and back-to-back two-hit performances. The 24-year-old tore up Triple-A pitching during rehab from an ACL injury and will get a good bit of run with teammate Mark Vientos (hamstring) on the shelf. He's deserving of a roster spot in most formats.

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio posted a solid performance at the plate during Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Mauricio took right-hander German Marquez deep in the third inning for his first homer of the season. It was a quality outing from Mauricio who finished the game 2-for-4 with a homer, stolen base, and two runs scored. It was his first multi-hit game of the season, but hopefully there will be more to come. Mauricio figures to split up time at third base with Brett Baty. Fantasy managers in deep leagues can take a look at Mauricio, but he's not a must-have player.

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio will join the team in Los Angeles for the rest of their series against the Dodgers, after Mark Vientos (hamstring) suffered an injury in the tenth inning of Monday night's win. Mauricio played 26 games for the Mets in 2023 and is a key prospect for them going forward, but missed all of 2024 and got a late start to this season after suffering a torn ACL in the Dominican Winter League in December of 2023. After playing 10 games in the lower minors, Mauricio has looked excellent in nine games in Triple-A with the Syracuse Mets. He went 17-for-33 (.515) with three home runs, four stolen bases, a .583 wOBA, and a 48.3% hard-hit rate in that small sample size. He could step right into an everyday role at 3B if Vientos is out a while, and his well-rounded prospect profile with power, speed, and contact makes him a great pickup in standard leagues. He has a very high ceiling and will likely end up with eligibility at multiple positions while making contributions in multiple categories if he stays in the majors the rest of the year.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 12-3 win against Triple-A Iowa. The 24-year-old has been on a heater since making his season debut on April 27. In 57 at-bats, the top prospect owns a .316/.365/.526 slash line with three homers and five steals. He's posted over a 60 percent hard-hit rate during this small sample and appears to be fully healthy. Mauricio has made starts at multiple infield positions to provide him with defensive flexibility when he is eventually called up. That will likely come at some point this summer. Mauricio's blend of power, contact, and speed makes him a good target in standard leagues.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio has continued to swing a hot bat at Triple-A and is nearing a return to the major leagues. On Wednesday, the No. 9-ranked prospect in the system went deep in his second straight contest. He also posted his third-straight multi-hit game at Triple-A Syracuse. The 24-year-old missed the entire 2024 campaign and the opening month of the 2025 season recovering from a torn ACL. However, the infielder appears to have returned to form. He made his MLB debut late in the 2023 campaign and posted a .248/.296/.347 with two home runs and seven stolen bases. While the Mets' infield is quite crowded at the moment, if Mauricio continues to hit, he will earn a promotion. Fantasy managers in NL-only formats should continue to monitor his production at Triple-A, as he may be just weeks away from his return to Queens.
