NEW YORK -- New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio will miss most or all of the 2024 season following surgery to repair a torn right ACL.
Mets medical director Dr. David Altchek operated Tuesday at the Hospital for Special Surgery, the team said Wednesday. New York said the typical return to play from the surgery is eight-to-12 months.
The 22-year-old Mauricio, who made his major league debut Sept. 1, was hurt while playing for Tigres del Licey in the Dominican Winter League on Dec. 10. Mauricio was on first base and started for second in what appeared to be a stolen base attempt, then stopped, fell and grabbed his right knee.
