New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor recently had stitches removed from his hand following a procedure for a stress reaction to his left hamate bone. While fans hoped for his availability by the season opener on March 26, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized a cautious approach, indicating Lindor is still in a “wait and see” phase. Although he is progressing in his recovery with conditioning and throwing, the team may utilize other players at shortstop until Lindor is fully cleared to play. Mendoza acknowledged Lindor’s history of playing through injuries but stressed the importance of not rushing his return.
