Versatile Mets prospect Luisangel Acuña left Saturday's spring training game after getting plunked in the second inning.

Mets pitching prospect Blade Tidwell threw the rare immaculate inning in his second start of the spring on Saturday against the Rays.

Blade Tidwell, ranked as the No. 2 pitcher and No. 8 prospect in the New York Mets' farm system, tossed nine pitches and nine strikes in a 1-2-3 second inning against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.

PORT CHARLOTTE — Mets starter Blade Tidwell threw an immaculate inning Saturday, a pitcher’s version of perfection, by striking out Josh Lowe, Eloy Jimenez and Jose Caballero on three pitches each in the second. Two Rays pitchers combined for a notable performance in the fifth, but in a different way, which was the key reason for the 10-1 loss.

Acuña was hit by a pitch in New York's game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, and was forced to exit the game. On Sunday, Mendoza announced an injury update on the 22-year-old infielder.
