Mets SS Francisco Lindor Returns From Hand Surgery, Has a Hit in Spring Debut
Lindor completed his first Grapefruit League game post-surgery and aims to be ready for Mets Opening Day after a key rehab milestone, manager said.
- On Sunday, Francisco Lindor, New York Mets shortstop, made his Grapefruit League debut against the Toronto Blue Jays and went 1-for-3 in four innings.
- After left-hand surgery in February, Francisco Lindor underwent left hamate bone surgery and faced a six-week rehab timetable but shows an ahead-of-schedule recovery assessment.
- In the game, Lindor loosened his left-hand grip in his first two at-bats, then hit a 104.5 mph single with 105 mph exit velocity, finishing healthy.
- Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said 'He's ready to go' after Lindor checked his rehab progression, increasing his chances for Opening Day, team sources said.
- Assuming no setbacks, Lindor should be in the Mets' Opening Day lineup on March 26, with five remaining Grapefruit League opportunities to prepare, possibly in sim games.
