Mets Lose Mauricio to Thumb Fracture

Ronny Mauricio fractured his left thumb while sliding into first base during the Mets' 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The injury occurred when Mauricio collided with first base while trying to beat a tag from Nolan Schanuel.

The Mets have now lost both their starting shortstop Francisco Lindor (strained left calf) and Mauricio. With Lindor expected to miss until late May or early June, the team may consider moving Bo Bichette back to shortstop, where he has played 718 games in his career. Bichette has struggled offensively this season with a .237 batting average. livefromquarantine.club
