The New York Mets received positive updates on star shortstop Francisco Lindor as he continues recovering from offseason surgery and steadily making progress.
Lindor, a key piece of the Mets’ roster, has been improving throughout his rehab, with the team taking a careful approach to ensure he’s fully ready before returning to game action.
A significant step in his recovery will be facing live pitching—crucial for regaining timing and adjusting to real-game velocity and movement.
Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed that Lindor is set to take live batting practice for the first time since his Feb. 11 procedure, where he is expected to face left-hander A.J. Minter.
Getting Lindor back at full strength will be vital for the Mets as they aim to stay competitive in the National League this season.
