The New York Mets placed infielder Ronny Mauricio on the 10-day injured list after he fractured his left thumb in Saturday’s game against the Angels just days ago. In corresponding moves, the team recalled Vidal Brujan from Triple-A Syracuse and made additional roster adjustments.

Mauricio had been filling in effectively at shortstop while Francisco Lindor recovers from a calf strain. The injury adds further strain to an already thin infield as the Mets navigate a demanding early schedule.

This transaction is significant because the shortstop position has become a major concern with two key players sidelined. Brujan’s recall brings much-needed versatility and speed to help cover ground defensively and offensively.

The move highlights the Mets’ ongoing challenge of managing depth and injuries while striving to remain competitive in the 2026 season.
