Lindor Recovering, Optimistic for Opening Day
Francisco Lindor is recovering from hamate bone surgery, encouraged after a minor league game [https://yardbarker.com/mlb/articles/francisco_lindor_encouraged_after_playing_in_minor_league_game/s1_13132_43581060] and the Mets are optimistic he'll be ready for Opening Day [https://www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/mets-optimistic-francisco-lindor-will-be-ready-for-opening-day-report-11655669].
Lindor had surgery on his right hamate bone. He played a minor league game on March 10 as part of his recovery. The Mets are counting on Lindor to be a key part of their offense this season. He is expected to play shortstop and bat near the top of the order. Hamate injuries can sap a hitter's power, so his progress will be closely monitored. The Mets are hoping he can return to full strength quickly.
