Mets place Mauricio on IL, call up Brujan

Mauricio was injured Saturday when he dived into first base while beating out an infield single. Manager Carlos Mendoza said Mauricio could be out 6-8 weeks, with more details expected after a CT scan on Monday.

With Mauricio out, the Mets designated Eric Wagaman for assignment to make room for Brujan on the 40-man roster. Brujan, 28, is making his Mets debut after being acquired from Minnesota in January and will be used interchangeably with Bo Bichette at shortstop. goldparty.lat
