Luisangel Acuña has returned to the New York Mets after a productive stint in Triple-A, where he showcased his versatility and speed. During his time with Syracuse, Acuña recorded a batting average of .289 with four RBIs and demonstrated improved contact at the plate. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized the importance of Acuña's role, especially with injuries affecting the roster. Acuña's experience in center field offers the Mets added depth as they navigate a critical part of the season.

While Acuña was a spark for the Mets earlier in the season, finding consistent playing time has been challenging due to a crowded roster featuring Brett Baty, Mark Vientos, and the recently called-up Ronny Mauricio. The Mets are now strategizing around these players, looking to maximize their contributions as they aim for postseason contention.
