Lindor's Injury: Mets Face Lineup Shuffle

0:00It's April 23rd, New York Metz news today starts now, AI powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. The New York Metz pulled off a tight 3-2 win over the Minnesota twins last night, with Juan Soto back in the lineup after his own calf issue. But the real story is Francisco Lindor, hurting his left calf while trying to score in the fourth inning on a double by Francisco Alvarez. He labored around the bases and headed straight to the clubhouse, getting pulled from the game right away. His tightness mirrors what sidelines Soto for three weeks, but Lindor's looked way worse. He couldn't even pick up speed like Soto did before his MRI. Manager Carlos Mendoza called it out post-game, saying they got good news on Soto, but now face the same headache with their star shortstop. Team mates feel the sting, like pitcher Clay Holmes, who tossed seven strong innings, but missed Lindor afterward, noting how tough it is when anyone leaves early. Lindor is known for battling through pain, yet even he knew something was off-rounding

1:01third. Lindor heads for an MRI today to check the damage, and Mendoza expects some time on the injured list. Boba Schett slid over to shortstop last night, making a solid play while Brett Beatty took third his natural spot. The Metz have options like calling up Ronnie Mauricio if Lindor misses time, but losing their tough leader up the middle could test this lineup as they push forward.
