The Mets have summoned a veteran utilityman to the West Coast after their latest injury headache.
Vidal Brujan is being called up from Triple-A Syracuse, The Post’s Mike Puma reported Sunday morning, after replacement shortstop Ronny Mauricio suffered a thumb fracture Saturday night, which will land him on the injured list.
Mauricio had been filling in for Francisco Lindor, who’s on the IL with a calf injury.

Brujan, 28, is hitting .241 in 24 games for Syracuse while splitting time at shortstop, second base and third base. Thirteen of his 24 starts have come at short. He also has previous experience playing the outfield.
The 25-year-old Mauricio, who began the season in Triple-A, is hitting .219 across his 10 MLB appearances this season, but he did hit a go-ahead solo home run in the seventh inning during the Mets’ win over the Angels on Friday night.
