Mets place A.J. Minter on IL, Ronny Mauricio beginning rehab assignment
In a corresponding move, right-hander José Ureña has been called up from Triple-A Syracuse.

Minter entered Saturday's win over the Nationals in the eighth inning, but threw just nine pitches before exiting with the training staff. While the initial diagnosis was triceps tightness, further testing showed the injury to be a lat strain.
"I can't remember what pitch it was, but about two pitches or a pitch before you can see me move my tricep a little bit, it tightened up," Minter said on Saturday. "I'm just glad it wasn't my elbow. That's what I was happy about. We're probably looking at an IL stint. Come back, get this thing fixed and continue to help the team."
Coming off offseason hip surgery, Minter has been outstanding for the Mets, pitching to a 1.64 ERA in 13 games.
Ureña, 33, has been well-traveled in his major league career, as the Mets will become his seventh team he's pitched for, including six seasons with the Miami Marlins. Overall, Ureña has a career 4.76 ERA in 232 career games.
Ronny Mauricio's rehab assignment begins
The Mets also announced that infielder Ronny Mauricio is beginning a rehab assignment with Low-A St. Lucie.
Mauricio, the No. 8 prospect in the Mets' system according to Joe DeMayo, initially tore his ACL playing Winter Ball after the 2023 season, and a second procedure was needed to remove scar tissue last August. Not long after that second surgery, Mauricio dealt with inflammation that stalled his recovery a bit, and he was not able to get into a game during spring training or the first few weeks of the regular season.

Phillies' Aaron Nola will make his first minor league rehab start on Thursday
NEW YORK (AP) — Philadelphia pitcher Aaron Nola will make his first injury rehabilitation start Thursday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley at Worcester as he works his way back from a sprained right ankle and fractured rib that have sidelined him since May. Nola threw batting practice on Friday. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Saturday the 32-year-old right-hander will throw about 60 pitches in the Triple-A game. Nola hurt the ankle during agility drills on May 8. He made a pair of ineffective starts and was placed on the IL effective May 15. Nola threw a bullpen session June 1 and felt sore a few days later. An MRI showed a stress fracture of a rib, Thomson revealed June 10. On the IL for a physical injury for the first time since 2017, Nola was 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA in nine starts and 49 2/3 innings. Nick Castellanos sits after hurting knee Right fielder Nick Castellanos was out of the starting lineup Saturday, a day after getting hurt in the Phillies' 12-5 win over the Yankees . 'The last play last night where he went back towards the wall, just kind of jammed his left knee a little bit,' Thomson said. 'He came in a little bit sore today, so keep him out, see how he is tomorrow.' Alec Bohm update Alec Bohm is to meet up with the Phillies on Sunday, travel with the team to Chicago and be evaluated. Bohm broke a left rib when hit by a 92.2 mph Yu Darvish pitch at San Diego on July 12. The third baseman and first baseman returned July 18 following the All-Star break, then went on the injured list. 'Still a little bit sore,' Thomson said. ___ AP MLB:
