New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio tore his right ACL during a Dominican Winter League game and will need surgery, an injury that will sideline him for a significant part of the 2024 season.

Mauricio, 22, made his Major League debut on Sept. 1.

He was hurt while playing for Tigres del Licey on Sunday night.

The Mets said that imaging revealed the tear and added that a timeline for his return will be determined after the operation.
