Luisangel Acuña made his highly anticipated Major League Baseball debut for the Mets in a 6-4 loss against the Phillies, filling in for the injured Francisco Lindor. The 22-year-old showcased his potential with two hits and strong plate performance, despite being largely untested defensively. Acuña's promotion from Triple-A Syracuse was expedited by Lindor's back injury, and he expressed his readiness to contribute to the team in any capacity. Team officials had been considering promoting Acuña prior to Lindor's injury, highlighting the player's versatility after Jeff McNeil's wrist fracture. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Acuña’s composure and ability to slow the game down at such a young age. Meanwhile, Lindor's return remains uncertain, as he aims to resume baseball activities soon.
