The New York Mets are promoting 22-year-old infielder Luisangel Acuña, the younger brother of Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr., from Triple-A Syracuse for his major league debut. Acuña, who was acquired from the Texas Rangers in exchange for Max Scherzer in 2023, has a slash line of .258/.299/.355 with 40 stolen bases this season. Despite his underwhelming offensive performance, the Mets hope his versatility and speed will provide valuable infield depth, especially with Francisco Lindor's recent back soreness and Jeff McNeil's wrist fracture. The Mets currently hold the third and final NL wild card spot with a narrow lead over the Braves, making Acuña's contribution potentially crucial in the tight playoff race. This call-up also sets the stage for a significant series against the Braves from September 24-26, where both Acuña brothers will be present.
