Francisco Lindor Officially Starting on Opening Day
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (hand) is officially in the starting lineup for Thursday's Opening Day contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He'll bat leadoff and play shortstop. There had been some speculation that Lindor might not be ready for the season opener after suffering a stress reaction in his hamate bone at the start of spring training. However, his recovery went well, and he even logged 19 at-bats across five games in spring training, showing that he was healthy enough to be in the lineup. As the season gets underway, Lindor will immediately face a tough opponent as the Pirates send Paul Skenes to the mound. All-time, Lindor is 2-for-6 against Skenes with a pair of singles.
