Francisco Lindor was the starting shortstop and went 1-for-3 over four innings in the Mets’ rain-shortened 8-1 win over the Blue Jays today, as Lindor saw his first action of the spring against Major League competition. Just prior to the start of camp, Lindor suffered a left hamate bone injury that required surgery, creating some question as to whether or not the five-time All-Star would be available for New York’s Opening Day lineup.
While the Mets will continue to monitor Lindor in the lead-up to their March 26 game against the Pirates, all signs point to Lindor being fully ready to participate.
