Francisco Lindor Starts Baseball Activities
New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said on Monday that shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) has started running and doing other baseball activities such as fielding grounders and hitting, according to Max Goodman of NJ.com. Finally, the 32-year-old Puerto Rican shortstop is making progress after already missing more than a month with a pretty serious left-calf strain. Lindor still has a ways to go before he can rejoin the major-league roster, but barring a setback once he's cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment, he should be back at some point in June to try and help the Mets climb out of the basement in the National League East. Until then, Bo Bichette will continue to handle starting shortstop duties, with Brett Baty playing third base against right-handed pitching. Lindor should remain stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy baseball leagues despite his injury and slow start to the 2026 season. Before getting hurt, the five-time All-Star was batting just .226 (21-for-93) with two long balls, five RBI, 14 runs scored, and two steals in 24 games played.
