Francisco Lindor News
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor belted his seventh home run of the season in Friday's loss to the division-rival Atlanta Braves, continuing his recent rise from a sluggish start to the year. Lindor launched a solo homer to put the Mets on the board in the seventh inning. Over his last 14 games, the 30-year-old All-Star switch-hitter is batting a productive .278 with five long balls, four doubles, 15 RBI, and three stolen bases. Lindor has to deal with Braves pitching two more times during this series, and in 15 games against the Braves since 2023, he's hitting just .218 with three big flies, two doubles, and eight RBI. He does have five steals during this span, and fantasy managers should set and forget Lindor in all settings this weekend.
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (illness) did not start Thursday's game against the Chicago Cubs, but he still managed to make a massive impact. The talented infielder came off the bench in the sixth inning and proceeded to hit a two-run double to bring the Mets within a run. In extra innings, Lindor smacked another double to cash in two runs and earn the walk-off win. It was one of Lindor's stronger games this season, as he has struggled at the plate in the early going. His .207/.287/.380 slash line is rather uninspiring, so hopefully this performance kick-starts the four-time All-Star.
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (illness) is out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs after being pulled from Wednesday's contest due to flu-like symptoms. Joey Wendle is back at shortstop and will hit eighth for the Mets against Cubs right-hander Ben Brown. This will be Lindor's first game starting on the bench in 2024. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Friday to see if the 30-year-old is feeling good enough to play on Friday for the start of a series in Tampa against the Rays. Wendle will be a very low-ceiling, deep-sleeper option for DFS gamers on Thursday, as he's hitting just .222 (6-for-27) on the year with no homers, one RBI and a stolen base in limited action for the Mets.

Last year, Francisco Lindor hit .254/.336/.470 with 31 homers, 98 RBI, 108 runs and 31 stolen bases. He was one of four players to have a 30/30 season with the other three all going inside the first five picks of drafts. Lindor was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the new rules that saw stolen bases up across the league, topping the 26 steals he had in the previous two seasons combined. Last year also made it back-to-back seasons in which Lindor has played 160 games. He's now missed just 70 games in the last eight seasons, making him one of the most consistent and reliable hitters in baseball. Lindor's expected numbers were similar to his actual ones and there's nothing to suggest we'll see any regression in 2024. That includes concerns about the Mets lineup. The Mets ranked 20th in runs scored (717) last year and while their pitching staff isn't as good on paper, their offense projects to be better. Maybe Lindor won't reach 30 steals again, but his 28.2 ft/sec sprint speed was his best since 2018. He's not showing signs of slowing down with the bat or on the bases and should remain a fantasy star in 2024.
