Mets' Lindor Injury, Soto's Return: Lineup Shuffle

0:00It's April 23rd. This is New York Mets News today, powered by AI Everything Happening with your team. I'm Corey with the story. The New York Mets finally snapped their 12-game losing streak, but bad news hit quick. All-Star Shortstop Francisco Lindor landed on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain. He bounced out of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins after running the bases in the fourth inning. That same day, superstar outfielder Juan Soto came back from his own right calf strain that sidelined him for 15 games. To fill Lindor's spot, the Mets called up infielder Ronnie Mauricio. It's a tough break right when they're trying to build momentum. Fans and the team feel the sting because Lindor is a workhorse. This marks his first injured list trip since 2021. Since debuting with the Cleveland Guardians in 2015, he's hit 150 games or more in seven seasons outside this year. Boba Shet was lied back to Shortstop, his natural spot, while Lindor heals.

1:02Word is this could be a quick absence, but the Mets can't afford slip-ups now. With Soto healthy and the line-up shuffling, New York hopes to keep the wins rolling despite the hit, though grind through it.
