New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor put together a big performance in Wednesday's victory versus the rival New York Yankees. The veteran went 3-for-6 on the evening with a five RBI and hit a solo home run and two-run homer along the way. Lindor continues to put up great numbers and has been on absolute fire over the last month with a .314 batting average to go along with eight homers, 21 RBI and seven stolen bases over his last 102 at-bats. Lindor has reached 20 homers and 20 stolen bases for the fourth time in his career and continues to be one of the best shortstops in the league. As one of the best at his position, managers should continue to enjoy the success as Lindor has shown no signs of slowing down.
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor had a solid game at the plate in Monday's 6-4 win over the Marlins. Lindor went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk. He also stole his 20th base of the season. The 30-year-old took Yonny Chirinos deep in the fourth inning and then added an insurance run in the ninth inning off of JT Chargois. Lindor has had another productive fantasy season, slashing .256/.335/.464 with 19 HR, 66 runs scored, and 54 RBI in 451 plate appearances. He should continue to benefit from the Mets' overall better offensive play recently.

Lindor has pretty much provided what fantasy managers have come to expect, slashing .253/.321/.455 with 61 runs scored, 48 RBI, and 16 stolen bases in 408 plate appearances. The Mets have picked things up as the first half of the season comes to a close, which should boost Lindor's fantasy value.

Francisco Lindor Homers, Collects Four Hits Thursday
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 4-for-4 with a homer, a stolen base, and two RBI in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Lindor was seeing the ball well today, which he seems to be doing more and more of lately. He is now riding a nine-game hit streak and has improved his average from .193 to .225 in the process. Although it hasn't been an ideal start to his season, Lindor still has nine homers and seven steals, so at least he has been providing something for fantasy managers. Expect his numbers to continue improving as he regresses over the summer.
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (finger) hurt his left index finger on his bunt attempt late in the loss in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. Lindor's finger was swollen and looked painful, but he said X-rays came back negative for any breaks. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter clubbed a two-run home run in the Game 1 loss and went 1-for-4 in the nightcap of the twin bill, so it's clearly not a serious injury he's dealing with. However, the Mets could certainly give him the day off in Wednesday's series finale, so fantasy managers need to be on the looking to see if Lindor is in the starting lineup. Lindor went 2-for-9 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored in the doubleheader on Tuesday to extend his current hitting streak to seven games.
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.
