The Mets continue to say that Mauricio isn't going to get called up until there's an everyday spot for him at the highest level, but with New York struggling to stay afloat, they could soon turn to the 22-year-old to see if he can provide a spark. While he did make a start at shortstop on Saturday in the first game of a doubleheader, Mauricio continues to play mostly in left field and second base for Syracuse, and he's picked up multiple hits in his last two contests.
I was somewhat tempted to move Mauricio into the top spot, just because the proximity matters and it's a little easier to picture him getting a call-up in the next few days than it is Encarnacion-Strand. Encarnacion-Strand needs to pick things up before he's given his first shot with the Reds, but there's no prospect with more upside in 2023 still in the minors than him.Ģ023 stats that matter: 2966 AB. While it's disappointing, it's far too small of sample to be truly concerned from a hitter who has put up those kind of numbers in the step below major-league action. In his last 10 contests, the right-handed slugger is slashing just. There have been a couple of blips for Encarnacion-Strand in his otherwise excellent 2023 campaign, but he's having legitimate struggles over the last few weeks.
