Luisangel Acuña has subbed so nicely for the New York Mets already that his brother’s team is in growing danger of missing the postseason

The Mets recently acquired infielder Eddy Alvarez from the Boston Red Sox after learning second baseman Jeff McNeil would miss the remainder of the season with a broken wrist. Acuña would appear to bring a more well-rounded game to the table, making him the kind of upgrade that can help influence a tight playoff race during the home stretch.

Luisangel Acuña has subbed so nicely for the New York Mets already that his brother's team is in growing danger of missing the postseason. Replacing an ailing Francisco Lindor at shortstop, Acuña capped a huge night at the plate with his first career home run to help the Mets beat the Washington Nationals 10-1 on Tuesday.
