Francisco Lindor’s MRI came back clean, but he could miss anywhere from 2-5 days.
Francisco Lindor said tests on his back showed no structural damage but how long he’s out will “depend on how [his] back reacts.” Lindor is battling through a little bit of pain, but he believes the training staff has a plan to get him back out on the field quickly. Given how important he is to the Mets, we’d expect him to get back out on the field as soon as he can play without pain. It just might not be until the end of the week, which makes him hard to start in weekly lineup leagues. Jose Iglesias will likely start at shortstop for the time being.
