Francisco Lindor Expected to Miss "Significant Time"
The New York Mets don't have a clear timetable yet on shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf), who went on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left-calf strain, but they expect him to miss "significant time," according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Lindor's calf strain is considered more serious than outfielder Juan Soto's was. The Mets recalled infielder Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse, and manager Carlos Mendoza said that Mauricio is going to get a "long run" at shortstop to prove himself with Lindor sidelined. Soto just returned from a stint on the IL on Wednesday, when Lindor went down with his calf injury. Despite the bad news for the 32-year-old All-Star shortstop, fantasy managers need to stash Lindor everywhere. Mauricio, a former top prospect, now has the chance to be a post-hype prospect with regular playing time. The switch-hitting Dominican infielder was hitting .293 (17-for-58) with six home runs, 13 RBI, 12 runs, and five steals in 15 games at Triple-A before his call-up. In deep-mixed and NL-only leagues, Mauricio is worth a flier off the waiver wire.
