Mets Place Mauricio on IL, Call Up Brujan

The Mets placed 25-year-old Mauricio on the IL after he suffered the injury during Saturday's game against the Angels when he dived into first base. Manager Carlos Mendoza indicated Mauricio could miss 6-8 weeks, with more details expected after a CT scan on Monday. To make room for Brujan, 28, on the 40-man roster, infielder Eric Wagaman was designated for assignment.

Brujan, acquired from the Minnesota Twins in January, will make his Mets debut and is expected to play shortstop alongside Bo Bichette. The move comes as the Mets deal with multiple position player injuries, including Jorge Polanco, Francisco Lindor, and Luis Robert Jr. hilogame.news
