New York Mets fans are encouraged by star shortstop Francisco Lindor’s progress in his recovery from a left hamate bone procedure. Manager Carlos Mendoza reported that Lindor has begun playing defense in minor-league games and took batting practice recently, though he will only focus on defensive duties for now. Lindor remains optimistic about being ready for Opening Day on March 26, and Mendoza confirmed his recovery is on schedule. The team will consider alternatives at shortstop if Lindor isn’t available, with options including new third baseman Bo Bichette and second baseman Marcus Semien.
