Mauricio is in the final stages of his recovery from a procedure in January of 2024 to repair a torn ACL in his right knee.

The Mets selected Urena's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Urena will take the spot on the 26-man roster vacated by A.J. Minter (lat), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Urena, who signed a minor-league deal in February, will give the Mets a long-relief option out of the bullpen who can also start in a pinch. Urena appeared in 33 regular-season games (nine starts) for the Rangers in 2024, posting a 3.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB across 109 innings.

The Mets placed Minter on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left lat strain.

Minter was lifted in the eighth inning of Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Nationals due to what was initially reported as left triceps tightness. Further testing revealed a left lat strain, and the 31-year-old southpaw will be shut down from throwing until a rehab program is established. The Mets selected Jose Urena's contract from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.
