Ronny Mauricio Back From Illness
1 year agoNew York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (illness) is starting at third base and batting sixth in the order on Friday against the visiting Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Hunter Greene. Mauricio is feeling well enough to play in the series opener against Cincinnati this weekend after missing the last two games with an illness. With the Mets season virtually over, the 22-year-old expects to see everyday playing time to close out the 2023 campaign in Queens. This will be Mauricio's first big-league start at third base, and he could see more time there with Brett Baty (groin) currently injured. In his first 10 MLB games, Mauricio has gone 11-for-36 (.306) with a homer, two doubles, five RBI, four stolen bases and two runs scored in 38 plate appearances.
