Francisco Lindor Advances to Triple‑A After First Rehab Game

A routine Syracuse outing could clear the way for an MLB activation early next week if Lindor shows no flare‑ups.

Overview

  • Lindor began a rehab assignment Friday with Double‑A Binghamton, going 1‑for‑4 and playing six innings at shortstop in his first game since April 22.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said Lindor is scheduled to play for Triple‑A Syracuse on Sunday and that the club will reassess his status after that appearance.
  • Lindor emphasized he will check how he feels after rest and family time, and the Mets are using medical checks and player self‑reporting to avoid rushing a return.
  • Other injury updates moved forward as well: right‑hander Christian Scott threw a clean, high‑intensity bullpen and could face hitters next, and outfielder Tyrone Taylor began a rehab stint.
  • The Mets sit 34‑41 and last in the NL East, so a timely Lindor activation would bolster a struggling lineup and could shape short‑term roster plans and trade‑deadline decisions.
