Lennon: Mets' Ronny Mauricio feeling right at home
Briefly

Ronny Mauricio made an emotional return to the majors, initially playing at Dodger Stadium before his heartfelt homecoming at Citi Field. After recovering from a serious knee injury, he expressed the significance of playing at home and how it surpasses any previous experiences. With injuries to teammates, Mauricio's versatility allows him to fill various infield positions, presenting an opportunity for him to secure a regular spot. As other players struggle, his powerful performance increases his chances of remaining integral to the Mets' lineup despite potential competition for playing time.
There were a lot of sentiments felt over there in Los Angeles for my first game. It's because you're finally back, and I'm finally able to realize my dreams.
Nothing compares to being here at home. Nothing compares to playing here at Citi Field.
The hope is that his power bat carves out a regular spot, even if that involves rotating around the infield.
Both have opened a big window for Mauricio, though it's plausible when Vientos is ready, that Acuna becomes the odd man out due to Mauricio's versatility.
