Overview
- Lindor played a full nine‑inning rehab game for Triple‑A Syracuse on June 21 and finished 0‑for‑4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored while handling multiple defensive chances.
- The Mets want to see Lindor in back‑to‑back game action and plan to stage a simulated game at Citi Field to create that sequence because there are no minor‑league games on Monday.
- If the simulated outing goes as planned and trainers sign off, the club could activate Lindor as soon as Wednesday, with a rest day scheduled between the simulated game and the activation.
- Upon activation Lindor is expected to resume everyday shortstop duties, Bo Bichette would move to third base and Brett Baty would shift to a super‑sub role, changing the infield alignment.
- The team has used a controlled rehab plan of staged simulated games plus brief Triple‑A appearances to evaluate Lindor at game speed while limiting innings and monitoring him closely before a return.
