Francisco Lindor Non-Committal About Status for Opening Day
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (hand) acknowledged that he's making significant progress, but he's not ready to commit to being in the lineup on Opening Day, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. The 32-year-old made his 2026 spring training debut on Sunday after missing time due to a stress reaction in his left hamate bone. Lindor is one of the best shortstops in baseball, so Mets fans and fantasy managers will be eager for him to be cleared 100 percent. With that being said, the Mets will be smart and have no plans to rush him back before he's ready. The 32-year-old has slugged at least 30 homers in each of the last three seasons, and he posted an impressive 129 wRC+ with 31 stolen bases last year. He currently ranks as the #4 shortstop in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings. He finds himself among the elite tier of fantasy options and should be drafted at a premium price, regardless of whether he's ready for Opening Day or not.
