US EditionNEWS: Francisco Lindor Needs Hand Surgery, Out 6 Weeks | Is Ronny Mauricio the Backup Shortstop?
Francisco Lindor will undergo surgery for a left hamate bone stress reaction with an expected six-week recovery; Mets consider multiple shortstop options during spring training.
- Wednesday, New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor will have surgery for a stress reaction in his left hamate bone, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed.
- Because soreness resurfaced upon arrival at spring training, Mendoza said Lindor was sent to a specialist, prompting surgery, and the club expects a six-week recovery.
- The club projects about six weeks of recovery after surgery, and Mendoza said Lindor will begin running once stitches are removed in about 10 days; it's "Knowing Lindor, I'm not going to bet against him," Mendoza said.
- Vidal Brujan, Ronny Mauricio and Jackson Cluff will split shortstop reps in spring training, while the Mets say Bo Bichette will transition to third base and not play shortstop during Lindor's absence.
- With March 26 approaching, David Stearns said he was `optimistic` Lindor could be ready if he follows a six-week recovery, but team caution remains about 100% strength.
