The Mets reinstated Mauricio (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.
Mauricio had been on the shelf since May 3 with a fractured left thumb. After beginning a rehab assignment last week and going 5-for-14 with one walk, two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs in four games between Single-A St. Lucie and Syracuse, Mauricio has been deemed healthy but will wind up sticking around with the Mets' Triple-A affiliate.
