Luisangel Acuña promotion: Mets turn to Ronald Acuña Jr.'s brother amid tight NL wild-card race
Acuña might be best known as the return on Max Scherzer last summer
By R.J. Anderson • 1 min readThe New York Mets have promoted infielder Luisangel Acuña, the younger brother of Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr., to the majors for his big-league debut. The move was reportedly in the works before shortstop Francisco Lindor exited Friday's game with back soreness. In a corresponding move, the Mets demoted outfielder DJ Stewart to open up a spot on the active roster.
Acuña, 22, was obtained from the Texas Rangers at the 2023 trade deadline in exchange for right-hander Max Scherzer. At the time, he appeared to be a promising middle-infield prospect with a legitimate chance at further development. Alas, Acuña has not played up to his billing since joining the Mets. This season alone, he's batted .258/.299/.355 with twice as many strikeouts as walks at Triple-A.
The Mets' hope is that Acuña can still provide value as a utility player. They had him training at three positions this year -- he made at least 30 appearances at shortstop, second base, and center field -- and he's a plus runner who has shown an aptitude for stealing bases. He's succeeded on 40 of his 54 attempts this year, as well as on 80% for his minor-league career.
