New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio suffered a fractured left thumb during a game against the Los Angeles Angels, prompting the team to consider Bo Bichette for the shortstop position. Mauricio was filling in for Francisco Lindor, who is already on the injured list. Mauricio's injury occurred on a headfirst slide into first base during the seventh inning of Saturday's 4-3 loss. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged that Bichette, who has played primarily at third base this season, is a candidate to move back to shortstop. Bichette played four innings in place of Mauricio after the injury. Mauricio, batting .209 with one home run in nine games this season, will join a growing list of injured Mets players, including Lindor, who has been out since April 22 due to a left calf strain. The Mets, with a record of 11-22, currently have the worst record in Major League Baseball and are 12.5 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves in the National League East.
