The New York Mets are set to promote infielder Luisangel Acuña to the majors for his debut, following the injury of Francisco Lindor. This move comes after Acuña was acquired from the Texas Rangers during the 2023 trade deadline.

Despite an unimpressive Triple-A performance, the Mets hope Acuña can be an asset as a utility player. They are currently in a tight race for a wild-card spot and need all hands on deck for the critical upcoming series against the Atlanta Braves, which could decide playoff fates.
