The New York Mets have made significant roster changes, demoting infielder Luisangel Acuña to Triple-A Syracuse due to persistent offensive struggles. After a promising start in April with a .308 batting average, Acuña's performance deteriorated sharply, culminating in a .241 average for the season. The Mets also sent catcher Francisco Alvarez down after his own disappointing season marked by injury recovery. With both players considered crucial to the team's young core, the Mets aim to revitalize their prospects' performance in the minors, hoping to have them ready for a potential playoff run later this season.
