Mets’ Francisco Lindor Still Without Return Timetable as Calf Rehab Advances

The shortstop stays in strength work with running still on hold.

Overview

  • Lindor’s manager, Carlos Mendoza, said Thursday that an MRI taken Wednesday showed healing in the shortstop’s left calf and cleared him for more work in the weight room.
  • Running has not begun and the team has not set a date for baseball activities.
  • Lindor strained the calf on April 22 while scoring from first and went on the injured list the next day, and he has now missed 18 games.
  • Mendoza said no additional imaging is planned at this stage as trainers focus on building strength before a running progression.
  • With Ronny Mauricio out after a fractured thumb, the Mets have shifted Bo Bichette to shortstop to cover Lindor’s spot.
