Mets' Injury Woes Continue: Lindor Exits with Calf Strain

0:00On April 23rd, the New York Mets just can't catch a break on the injury front. They finally welcome back star outfielder Juan Soto from the injured list on Wednesday, only for shortstop Francisco Lindor to exit the game against. The Minnesota twins with left calf tightness that same night. It happened in the fourth inning when Lindor scored from first base on a double by Francisco Alvarez. He struggled running the bases, grimaced while rounding third and slid in fee first, but clearly wasn't right afterward. The Mets are in a rough spot, mired in a 12-game losing streak, so losing another key player like Lindor, hurts bad. He's been a standout this season, even making a highlight leaping catch earlier in the game and driving in a run with an infield single. Soto had missed time since shredding his right calf on April 3rd, while running the bases in San Francisco, sitting out about three weeks on the 10-date injured list. Now the team shifts focus to the next series, hoping to snap the skid without two of their big bats fully healthy and praying no more calves go pop.
