Ronny Mauricio appears to be settling into a groove.
The young Mets infielder had just three hits with St. Lucie and Binghamton during his rehab assignment — but after being activated from the injured list this weekend, he’s been able to find some success back in Syracuse.
Mauricio was on-base three more times during Tuesday night’s loss to Rochester.
He lined a double down the left field line with one out in the bottom of the first, drove in a run with a two out single up the middle in the seventh, and then capped off his strong night by crushing a solo homer in the ninth.
All three drives left the bat at 100+ mph.
The 24-year-old is now 5-for-9 with two extra base-hits over his first two games in Triple-A.
Mauricio missed all of last season after suffering a torn ACL during winter ball, but if he can stay healthy and continue to produce consistently, he just might find his way back into the big leagues before long.

Things weren’t as positive on the pitching side of things.
Top pitching prospect Brandon Sproat was knocked around for the second straight outing.
Sproat did work his way through for scoreless innings, but things took a turn for the worst in the fifth as he failed to record an out and was pulled after allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and a walk.
The 24-year-old punched out just one batter on the night.
He has now allowed six or more runs in three of his last five outings — bringing his ERA up to an ugly 6.69 on the season.
With the way Jonah Tong and Nolan McLean have been pitching of late, it’s safe to say Sproat has fallen down a bit in the organization’s prospect rankings.
