Mets Infield Clicks, Semien Excited for Lindor's Return

0:00On this March 8th, here's what's making headlines for the New York Mets. The New York Mets infield is starting to click during spring training drills. Marcus Semyon has begun taking ground balls with Francisco Lindor at shortstop. Lindor is recovering from surgery on a Hamate bone in his left hand. Semyon joined the Mets in an off-season trade from Texas to play second base. The team hopes this builds quick chemistry for their double-play duo. Lindor is progressing well and could be ready for opening day. Semyon sounded excited about Lindor's recovery. He noted how impressive it is to see Lindor already swinging the bat and fielding. Semyon is also working with prospect, Ronnie Mauricio, who might start at shortstop if needed. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised another outfielder's batting practice power, but stressed keeping him healthy with a careful schedule. Mendoza wants him on the field as much as possible. Pitching updates include David Peterson starting Tuesday against the carnels after a one-day delay. Brandon Woodell pitches Monday versus the Marlins.
