BALTIMORE (AP) — The New York Mets recalled 23-year-old utility man Luisangel Acuña from Triple-A Syracuse before Thursday’s split doubleheader against Baltimore.
The brother of Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., Luisangel Acuña went 13-for-45 (.286) for Syracuse after the Mets optioned him in late June.
Capable of playing second base, shortstop or the outfield, Acuña had batted .241 in 65 games before going to the minors.
“He was a big part of this team the first couple of months,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters of Acuña. “We got to a point where we felt like, ’Hey, let’s get him some everyday playing time. ‘And now it’s time for him to be back up here, continuing to help us win baseball games.”
In a corresponding move, the Mets designated outfielder Travis Jankowski for assignment.
Acuña was on the bench for New York’s first game of the doubleheader.
