Ahead of Sunday’s series-deciding game between the Mets and the Phillies, manager Carlos Mendoza provided some updates on the team’s star shortstop, Francisco Lindor.
When asked about the current condition of Lindor, who’s been rehabbing a calf strain, Mendoza replied that “the reports so far are pretty good.”
However, the skipper did also clarify that he still needs to “talk to the trainers” to gain further insight into when he will be able to pencil in Lindor’s return to the Mets lineup.
“We’re getting there, he’s getting close,” Mendoza continued, sharing that he liked what he saw as he watched Lindor play in Triple-A from the clubhouse TV.
Lindor played for Triple-A Syracuse in their 5-3 win earlier Sunday and went 0-for-4 with a walk, alongside fellow ailing major leaguers Tyrone Taylor and Ronny Mauricio. Taylor hit a single to drive home two baserunners – including Lindor, who stole a base shortly before Taylor’s knock – in the fifth inning.
The switch-hitting shortstop – who landed on the IL after straining his left calf against the Twins on April 22 – could potentially participate in a simulated game at Citi Field tomorrow, as the Syracuse Mets have an off day.
