BALTIMORE — 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.
Its Thursday, July 10 and the Diamondbacks (46-47) are in San Diego to take on the Padres (49-43).
Eduardo Rodriguez is slated to take the mound for Arizona against Randy Vásquez for San Diego.
The Diamondbacks have taken two of three in the series following last night's 8-2 thumping of the Padres. Eugenio Suarez belted his 29th home run of the season in the fourth inning and Geraldo Perdomo smacked a grand slam in the fifth to pace the offense. Brandon Pfaadt allowed but two runs over eight innings to earn his ninth win of the season.

The Mets faced the Orioles on Thursday in Baltimore in Game 1 of a doubleheader.
Here are the takeaways...
- With the Mets nursing a 1-0 lead in the eighth inning, Ryne Stanek replaced David Peterson with a runner on first with no one out and surrendered a two-run homer to Gunnar Henderson -- who was pinch-hitting.
After allowing the go-ahead homer, Stanek walked three batters around a ground out before allowing a sacrifice fly to Ramon Laureano to extend the Orioles' lead to 3-1.
The Mets decided to go with Stanek despite Huascar Brazoban getting warm earlier in the game.
It was the second consecutive rough outing for Stanek, who allowed a run on two walks and one hit to the Yankees on Saturday.
- New York broke through in the fifth inning. After Brett Baty led off with a walk against O's starter Charlie Morton and stole second base, Tyrone Taylor lined an RBI double down the right field line to make it 1-0. Taylor's failure to advance to third base on a slow grounder hit right of first base for the first out of the inning was critical, though, since it cost the Mets a chance to score a run on Francisco Lindor's deep fly out to left field -- and they wound up plating just the one run in the fifth.
In the sixth inning, Mark Vientos led off the inning with a hustle double, but was stranded there.
- Peterson was dominant and economical over the first seven innings, holding Baltimore scoreless while throwing just 87 pitches.
Over those seven frames, Peterson allowed just four hits, walked none, and struck out six.
After Peterson gave up a ground ball single to Colton Cowser leading off the eighth inning, he was lifted for Stanek.
- The Mets squandered one early scoring chance and were robbed during their next opportunity.
After putting runners on second and third with no one out in the first inning, Juan Soto and Pete Alonso struck out and Jesse Winker popped out to end the threat.
Their next chance came in the third inning, when Alonso hit a sharp grounder with runners on first and second that seemed ticketed for the outfield. But Baltimore shortstop Luis Vazquez made a diving play ranging to his right before throwing him out at first base.
It's Thursday, July 10 and the Rangers (45-48) are in Anaheim to take on the Angels (45-47). Patrick Corbin is slated to take the mound for Texas against Jack Kochanowicz for Los Angeles.
Los Angeles took the series lead with a 11-8 victory yesterday behind four homers, including two from Mike Trout and a game-winner from Jorge Soler.
Both the Angels and Rangers are 2-4 in the last six games, but Texas owns the season series 4-2 after sweeping Los Angeles earlier this season.

Feb. 2025 photo of the Automated Ball-Strike System plays on the scoreboard after a pitch call was challenged during the second inning of a spring training baseball game in Phoenix. (Carolyn Kaster/Associated Press)
The MLB All-Star Game has served disparate purposes over the years. It always has been a showcase for baseball's top talent. Once upon a time, the outcome determined home field advantage in the World Series. In recent years, it has been a fashion runway for ridiculous uniforms.
This year, it will be an incubator.
The Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System will take its next measured step toward regular-season implementation when it is used in the All-Star Game on Tuesday in Atlanta.
Just as ABS was conducted during spring training, each team will get two challenges that can be made only by the pitcher, catcher or batter. Successful challenges are retained.
The player making a challenge taps his cap or helmet to let the plate umpire know that his ball or strike call will be reviewed. The ubiquitous Hawk-Eye system tracks the trajectory and location of the pitch and and a graphic of the pitch is displayed on the scoreboard while the call is being reviewed.
In the minor leagues, ABS has been tested since 2021 and the ABS challenge was implemented in 2022. Major leaguers got their first taste during spring training.
Result? Not much difference from the calls made by human umpires. Strikeouts were reduced slightly and walks increased a tick.
“We have made a lot of progress in the way the system works,” MLB vice president of on-field strategy Joe Martinez said at a media-demonstration session during spring training, “and also the way we weave the system into the game play. And we’re at a point in triple-A where we have a system that the players like, the coaches like, the umpires like and the fans like.”
The shape of a major league strike zone as called by umpires isn't the precise cube seen on television but takes a rounded form that bulges wider in the middle of the zone and tightens at the top and bottom.
Human umpires continue to improve, in no small part because pitch tracking puts every call under a microscope. MLB umpires have improved their accuracy in calling balls and strikes every year since pitch tracking technology was introduced in 2008, according to FanGraphs. Accuracy has spiked from 81.3% to 92.4%. Expressed another way, incorrect calls have been reduced by nearly 60% in 15 years.
Major League Baseball negotiated a change with the umpires association last offseason in how home-plate umpires are evaluated, effectively tightening the strike zone. The change decreased the margin of error for umpires in their evaluations, resulting in fewer called strikes off the edges of the plate.
Still, a handful of calls are missed in nearly every game, and the all-stars will have an opportunity to tap their caps and challenge at least two calls per team. Should the experiment be a hit with participants and fans, the next step will be for the 11-person MLB competition committee to consider implementing the challenge system for the 2026 regular season.
All-Star notes
— All-Stars will wear what they wear during regular-season games, meaning those unsightly uniforms that were uniformly panned by players and fans the last several years will remain in a closet somewhere. This will be the first year since 2019 that players wear the regular-season uniforms of their teams.
— Department of serendipity: The All-Star Game will take place on Tuesday (7/15) in Atlanta, the number and location of Hank Aaron's historic home run in 1974 that vaulted him past Babe Ruth to become MLB's all-time leader at the time. Hammerin' Hank blasted No. 715 off the Dodgers' Al Downing at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. The tribute will re-create the moment through the use of projection mapping and custom pyrotechnics at the end of the sixth inning.
— MLB All-Star week begins Saturday with the Futures Game. The MLB draft will be held Sunday, the Home Run Derby is scheduled for Monday with the All-Star Game taking place Tuesday.
Robbie Ray earned his second MLB All-Star selection, but the Giants southpaw won’t be making an appearance in this season’s Midsummer Classic.
Ray is scheduled to start San Francisco’s matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday at Oracle Park, with the player and the club deciding to opt out of the former Cy Young winner making an appearance in the July 15 exhibition game.
MLB’s former rule stipulated that any pitchers making a start on the Sunday before the All-Star break would be deemed ineligible to appear in the Midsummer Classic. Now, both the team and player have the option to decide if they will appear in the All-Star Game.
The Giants pushed for Tyler Rogers to replace Ray, with the submariner posting All-Star-caliber numbers with a 1.62 ERA in 44 innings pitched during the 2025 MLB season. Ultimately, MLB opted to go with Peterson instead.
Giants have had Ray lined up for this start for a few days. It means he can't pitch in the All-Star Game, and they're pushing to have Tyler Rogers get that spot (it may be difficult since they've already had three pitchers selected). https://t.co/8sBcqH7ZrY
Ray has been one of the NL’s best starting pitchers this season, posting a 9-3 record with a 2.63 ERA in 19 starts. While Ray won’t pitch in the Midsummer Classic, the All-Star selection still remains on his resume, forever highlighting his stellar first half.
Its Thursday, July 10 and the Mariners (48-44) are in the Bronx looking to avoid being swept in their three-game series against the Yankees (51-41).
Bryan Woo is slated to take the mound for Seattle against Marcus Stroman for New York.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. was electric last night. The All-Star infielder for New York homered twice in support of the major league debut of Cam Schlittler and the Yankees won 9-6 at Yankee Stadium. New York has now won three in a row.

Mets designated hitter Jesse Winker could be heading back to the IL just a few days after returning from an extended absence.
Winker, who exited Thursday's game against the Orioles after just one at-bat due to back tightness, is being sent back to New York for an MRI, manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game.
Mendoza noted that an IL stint is a possibility.
If Winker lands on the IL, the Mets will essentially be without a regular DH until after the All-Star break, which begins for them after Sunday's game in Kansas City.
Starling Marte landed on the IL on Tuesday, retroactive to July 7. The expectation is that he'll be able to return right after the break, with the Mets beginning the second half against the Reds on July 18 at Citi Field.
On the at-bat before he came out, Winker popped out to end the first inning. He was pinch-hit for in the fourth inning by Mark Vientos.
The 31-year-old was playing in just his second game since May 4 after returning from the injured list on Tuesday after working his way back from an oblique injury.
Winker was hitting .239 with a .739 OPS (112 OPS+) prior to his oblique injury, totaling just one home run and 10 RBI.
The lefty hit .286 with two home runs, a double, seven RBI, and five walks over five games in the minor leagues during his rehab assignment.
The Boston Red Sox’ outfield logjam is the elephant in the room with the 2025 MLB trade deadline approaching.
Even if they’re technically buyers ahead of the deadline, the Red Sox are expected to part ways with at least one member of their crowded outfield. The emergence of top prospect Roman Anthony has resulted in Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu being mentioned in trade rumors as Boston prioritizes pitching help.
Duran has been linked to the San Diego Padres since early June, when The Athletic reported the 2024 All-Star Game MVP was on their list of trade targets. Their interest comes as little surprise given their glaring weakness in left field.
“No player and team have been linked as strongly as Duran and the Padres — and that’s without any knowledge of how the Red Sox intend to handle the deadline,” Passan wrote. “Roman Anthony’s emergence has put Boston in a position to float Duran and Wilyer Abreu in trade discussions, and whether it’s now or over the winter, Boston wants to use its surplus of bats to fill voids elsewhere.
“Left field in San Diego is among the biggest voids in the game. The Padres have tried eight players in left this season, and collectively they’re barely have an OPS of over .600. A Duran-Jackson Merrill-Fernando Tatis Jr. outfield would be a factory of dynamism that would be under team control through the end of the 2028 season.
“The Padres might need to get creative — beyond shortstop Leo De Vries (who’s believed to be off-limits) and catcher Ethan Salas, their farm system is middling — but nobody does creativity like GM A.J. Preller. And whether that means facilitating a deal through a third team or including one of their high-leverage relievers such as closer Robert Suárez, San Diego is willing to go places most other organizations would never consider.”
The Red Sox’ primary outfield currently consists of Duran in left, Ceddanne Rafaela in center, and Abreu in right. Anthony has spent 19 games in right and nine as the designated hitter, though his recent switch to left field suggests Boston is preparing to make it his primary position.
Theoretically, the Red Sox could take advantage of Rafaela’s versatility and move him to second base, with Duran sliding to center and Anthony sticking in left. But Rafaela is arguably the best defensive center fielder in the game, and moving him to second would give top infield prospect Marcelo Mayer no clear path to consistent playing time when third baseman Alex Bregman returns from injury.
It’s a complicated situation for chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, but he told WEEI on Thursday that trading one of his outfielders isn’t a necessity.
“It’s something that you would have to consider if there was an opportunity to improve the team elsewhere,” Breslow said on The Greg Hill Show. “But I think it’s really important to point out that we don’t have to trade one of the outfielders simply because we have more guys that are capable of contributing than can start every night.”
Duran is slashing .262/.318/.438 with an MLB-leading 10 triples, eight homers, and 50 RBI in 93 games. He has caught fire in July, posting a 1.154 OPS with 11 RBI in eight games.
Riding a six-game win streak, the Red Sox will wrap up their first half with a four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park.
