Overview
- The Mets placed Francisco Lindor on the 10-day injured list on Thursday after an MRI showed a left calf strain that manager Carlos Mendoza said is worse than Juan Soto’s recent calf issue.
- Team officials put Lindor in a walking boot with no firm return date and set a three-week reevaluation, while president David Stearns said his progression could be quick if the calf heals well.
- New York called up Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A to start at shortstop, and Mendoza indicated he will get an everyday look as Bo Bichette remains a positional option if needed.
- Austin Warren was optioned to Syracuse to make room for Christian Scott’s season debut after elbow surgery, and following Thursday’s rough outing Scott was sent back to Triple-A with Carl Edwards Jr. recalled to the bullpen.
- Colorado beat New York 4-3 on Friday as Jake McCarthy’s double and Troy Johnston’s two-run single keyed the Rockies’ late runs, with Brett Baty’s two-run knock falling short in a rally that ended on a Mark Vientos lineout double play.
