Overview
- Lindor is on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain, and the team says he will wear a walking boot for about a week before a full re-evaluation in three weeks.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza called the injury spot a tricky part of the calf and said doctors will check for any Achilles-related damage during the next imaging.
- Team officials outlined only a best-case path that could put him back before the end of May, pending clean mid-May scans, at least a week of baseball work, and rehab games.
- Ronny Mauricio is expected to handle shortstop in Lindor’s absence as the Mets try to shake a 9-17 start and jump-start a lineup that has struggled to square up the ball.
- USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported the club privately expects Lindor to be out into June, a timeline the Mets have not confirmed.
