The New York Mets have called up infielder Luisangel Acuña from the minor leagues, coinciding with shortstop Francisco Lindor's injury. Acuña, brother of Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., has had a mixed performance in the minors but is viewed as a utility asset for the playoff push.

After recent acquisitions and injuries, the Mets sit at 81-66, leading the National League's wild-card race with a significant series against the Braves approaching, which may showcase both Acuña brothers together on the field.
