Francisco Lindor Takes Full Batting Practice on Friday
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (hand) took full batting practice on the field in camp on Friday for the first time since having surgery on the hamate bone in his right hand last month, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. After BP, Lindor faced left-handed reliever A.J. Minter in live batting practice. The highlight for Lindor on the day was a ground-rule double to center field. Although nothing is official, it's looking very likely that Lindor will be ready to roll for the start of the 2026 season in two weeks on Opening Day, barring a setback. The next step for the 32-year-old five-time All-Star is to be cleared to play in Grapefruit League games. If the Puerto Rican can do that, he'll almost certainly avoid the injured list to begin the regular season. Lindor remains one of the top shortstop options in fantasy despite the injury after slashing .267/.346/.466 with an .811 OPS and the second 30-30 season of his career in 2025.
