Mets Shortstop Francisco Lindor Exits Game with Left Calf Tightness, Will Have MRI on Thursday

The Mets said Lindor will undergo an MRI after he left with left calf tightness, and he was 2-for-2 with an RBI before exiting.

  • New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor left Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins in the fourth inning with left calf tightness after grimacing while rounding the bases.
  • Hours after outfielder Juan Soto returned from the 10-day IL, the Mets faced another calf injury; Soto had been sidelined since April 3 with a similar right calf strain.
  • Prior to his exit, Lindor went 2-for-2 with an RBI single, helping the Mets take a 2-1 lead over Minnesota in their bid to end a 12-game losing streak.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Lindor will undergo an MRI on Thursday to assess the injury. Brett Baty replaced him at third base, while Bo Bichette shifted to shortstop.
  • The Mets own the worst record in MLB at 7-16 and are attempting to end their longest losing streak since 2002, making Lindor's absence a significant blow to their struggling season.
