Mets Select Vidal Brujan, Designate Eric Wagaman For Assignment
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Mets have promoted Vidal Brujan to fill the shortstop vacancy after Ronny Mauricio was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured thumb, and Eric Wagaman was designated for assignment to clear a roster spot.
- Brujan, a versatile 28-year-old infielder with MLB experience at multiple positions, struggled offensively in Triple-A Syracuse this season but has shown solid defense at shortstop.
- Mauricio, who was set to replace injured star Francisco Lindor at shortstop, is expected to miss 6-8 weeks due to his thumb injury sustained during a headfirst slide.
- The Mets have adjusted their infield alignment by moving Bo Bichette to shortstop and Brett Baty to third base following Mauricio’s injury.
- Wagaman, recently acquired off waivers, had a modest offensive output in 2024 and was briefly on the Mets’ roster before being designated for assignment to make room for Brujan.
