Lindor Set to Make Early Return to Mets Lineup After Back Injury: Reports

After missing the first week of the season due to a back injury, New York Mets’ star shortstop Francisco Lindor is expected to make his earliest return to the lineup on Tuesday when the team faces off against the Atlanta Braves.

Lindor, who was acquired by the Mets in a blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Indians during the offseason, has been sidelined since the final week of Spring Training with a strained oblique muscle. The injury was initially thought to be minor, but the Mets’ medical staff opted to take a cautious approach with their new franchise player.

The 27-year-old infielder has been rehabbing diligently and has been progressing well in his recovery. Mets manager Luis Rojas expressed optimism that Lindor will be ready to return to action on Tuesday, barring any setbacks.

Lindor’s absence has been felt by the Mets, who have struggled offensively in the early part of the season. The four-time All-Star’s presence in the lineup is sure to provide a much-needed boost for the team as they look to turn things around.

Fans are eagerly anticipating Lindor’s return to the field, as they hope to see their new star player make an immediate impact and help lead the Mets to victory in their upcoming series against the Braves.

Stay tuned for more updates on Lindor’s status as the Mets prepare for what could be a game-changing return to the lineup on Tuesday.
