Francisco Lindor Fantasy Stats

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said on Monday that shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) has started running and doing other baseball activities such as fielding grounders and hitting, according to Max Goodman of NJ.com. Finally, the 32-year-old Puerto Rican shortstop is making progress after already missing more than a month with a pretty serious left-calf strain. Lindor still has a ways to go before he can rejoin the major-league roster, but barring a setback once he's cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment, he should be back at some point in June to try and help the Mets climb out of the basement in the National League East. Until then, Bo Bichette will continue to handle starting shortstop duties, with Brett Baty playing third base against right-handed pitching. Lindor should remain stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy baseball leagues despite his injury and slow start to the 2026 season. Before getting hurt, the five-time All-Star was batting just .226 (21-for-93) with two long balls, five RBI, 14 runs scored, and two steals in 24 games played.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) has yet to start baseball activities, according to Tim Britton of The Athletic. Lindor has been sidelined since April 22 with a left-calf strain, and since he hasn't resumed any baseball activities, fantasy managers could potentially be without him for the rest of the first half of the 2026 season. The Mets won't have a timetable for his return until he resumes baseball activities. Although it's extremely frustrating for a Mets team that is looking at a lost season, the 32-year-old Puerto Rican infielder should remain rostered in all fantasy baseball leagues as a difference-maker in multiple categories when he's healthy. The five-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger was hitting a disappointing .226 (21-for-93) with two homers, five RBI, 14 runs scored, and two steals at the time of his injury, too. For the foreseeable future, Bo Bichette will continue to man the 6 in Queens in Lindor's absence, with Brett Baty seeing most of the starts at third base against right-handed pitchers.

The New York Mets are hoping that All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) can return in around a month, but they aren't putting a timetable on it, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Lindor's strained left calf is healing, but he has yet to be cleared to start baseball activities. Fantasy managers are going to need to stay patient here and keep Lindor stashed in all formats, even though the four-time Silver Slugger winner was only hitting .226 (21-for-93) with two home runs, five RBI, 14 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 24 games at the time of his injury. Ronny Mauricio (thumb) is also out for an extended period of time for the banged-up Mets, which has forced the team to move third baseman Bo Bichette to regular duties at the 6 in Queens. Meanwhile, the left-handed-hitting Brett Baty is seeing regular playing time at third base for the Mets against right-handed pitchers.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor's (calf) MRI exam showed that his strained calf is healing, but there remains no timetable for his return, manager Carlos Mendoza told Steve Gelbs of SNY. The skipper said that Lindor will now move into the strength-training portion of his recovery, although he still looks to be quite a ways away from a return from the 10-day injured list. Fantasy managers should expect the 32-year-old Puerto Rican to return sometime in June. In the meantime, with Ronny Mauricio (thumb) on the shelf as well, Bo Bichette has moved to shortstop full-time, and Brett Baty will continue to see most of the starts at third base against right-handed pitchers. Lindor, a five-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger winner, was hitting just .226 (21-for-93) with two homers, five RBI, 14 runs scored, and two stolen bases at the time of his injury, is a must-stash in fantasy leagues despite his extended absence. When fully healthy, Lindor is a top-tier shortstop. He has reached 30 homers in each of the last three seasons and has stolen 30-plus bags in two of those years.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam this week, most likely on Wednesday, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic. The Mets are hoping that the MRI will provide some clarity on when Lindor might return. He is no longer wearing a walking boot, but the Mets know better at this point than to get ahead of themselves, given the way their season has gone so far in 2026. The 32-year-old five-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger winner has been sidelined since April 22 with a calf strain, and there is currently no timetable for him to resume baseball activities, which means fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to return until probably sometime in June, at the earliest. Despite struggling to a .226/.314/.335 slash line through 105 plate appearances before getting hurt, Lindor is a must-stash in an IL spot in all fantasy baseball leagues. With both Lindor and Ronny Mauricio (thumb) on the shelf, the last-place Mets have been forced to move Bo Bichette to the 6 in Queens, while Brett Baty sees most of the action at third base.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) will be in a boot for the next week, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. The Mets won't re-evaluate Lindor until three full weeks pass, so he can't restart baseball activities until mid-May, at the earliest. The strain is in "a trick part" of Lindor's left calf, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Lindor's calf injury is more serious than All-Star outfielder Juan Soto's, so fantasy managers are going to need to be patient. There's a good chance we won't see Lindor again until June, depending on how he recovers once he starts ramping up. Until he can return from the 10-day injured list, former top prospect Ronny Mauricio will get a shot at everyday playing time at the 6 in Queens. The 25-year-old switch-hitting Dominican infielder was hitting the ball well at Triple-A Syracuse before his call-up this week, but he has yet to stand out in his 90 big-league games, slashing .231/.290/.354 with a .644 OPS. Mauricio is only rostered in 4% of Yahoo leagues at the moment. Lindor is a must-stash in all fantasy formats.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) is in serious danger of having an extended stint on the injured list. The Mets officially placed Lindor on the 10-day injured list on Thursday, but reports suggest he could be on the shelf for an extended period. Per Joel Sherman of The New York Post, the Mets fear Lindor's calf strain is far worse than Juan Soto's and could be "going to be down a while," per manager Carlos Mendoza. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but it appears the star infielder could be on the shelf for an extended period of time. Lindor was off to a slow start in the 2026 campaign, posting a .226/.314/.355 line over his 24 contests. However, before going down, Lindor held a much higher .360 AVG and hit both of his home runs over his last seven games. While sidelined, Ronny Mauricio should be given ample opportunities to carve out a role in the Mets lineup.

The New York Mets don't have a clear timetable yet on shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf), who went on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left-calf strain, but they expect him to miss "significant time," according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Lindor's calf strain is considered more serious than outfielder Juan Soto's was. The Mets recalled infielder Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse, and manager Carlos Mendoza said that Mauricio is going to get a "long run" at shortstop to prove himself with Lindor sidelined. Soto just returned from a stint on the IL on Wednesday, when Lindor went down with his calf injury. Despite the bad news for the 32-year-old All-Star shortstop, fantasy managers need to stash Lindor everywhere. Mauricio, a former top prospect, now has the chance to be a post-hype prospect with regular playing time. The switch-hitting Dominican infielder was hitting .293 (17-for-58) with six home runs, 13 RBI, 12 runs, and five steals in 15 games at Triple-A before his call-up. In deep-mixed and NL-only leagues, Mauricio is worth a flier off the waiver wire.

The New York Mets officially announced on Thursday that they placed shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) on the 10-day injured list with a left-calf strain and recalled infielder Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. Lindor will miss at least 10 days with a calf injury that he suffered in the team's win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. With Lindor on the shelf, Mauricio will start at the 6 and bat eighth in Thursday's series finale against the Twins and right-hander Joe Ryan. Mauricio is worth a look in deeper fantasy baseball leagues if he sees regular playing time in New York with Lindor sidelined, as he was really hitting the ball well at Syracuse before his call-up. There's a chance that Bo Bichette is moved from third base to short, too, which would open up the hot corner for either Mauricio or Brett Baty. Lindor was off to a slow start by his standards early on in 2026, but he's a must-stash in an IL spot while he heals in all fantasy formats.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf) is likely headed to the 10-day injured list after being pulled from Wednesday's win over the Minnesota Twins early with a left-calf injury, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post. The Mets are recalling infielder Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse, and he could see playing time at the 6 in Queens while Lindor recovers. On the day that the Mets got All-Star outfielder Juan Soto back from the IL due to a calf injury, they lose their All-Star shortstop. It's been that kind of year so far for the Mets, who broke a 12-game losing streak on Wednesday. If the Mets choose to slide third baseman Bo Bichette to shortstop, Mauricio and Brett Baty could split playing time at the hot corner with Lindor on the IL. The 32-year-old Lindor was off to a slow start at the plate in his first 93 at-bats in 2026 before his calf injury, batting .226 (21-for-93) with two homers, five RBI, 14 runs scored, and two steals. Fantasy managers must hold onto the five-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger winner while he recovers.
