Ahead of their series opener against the Mariners this evening, the Mets called up infielders Ronny Mauricio and Brett Baty and right-handed pitcher José Butto. With rosters expanded to 28 players now that it’s September, the team only had to clear one spot on the active roster, optioning infielder Danny Mendick to Triple-A Syracuse.
Mauricio has spent the entirety of his 2023 season in Syracuse up to this point, and in 532 plate appearances there, he hit .292/.346/.506 with 23 home runs and 24 stolen bases. It’s worth noting that his slash line was just slightly above league average, as he had 107 wRC+ at the level.
