Francisco Lindor of the New York Mets is currently sidelined due to lower back soreness, having exited Friday's game against the Phillies. He is scheduled for an MRI to assess the injury, which has resulted in his absence from at least one more game. Lindor expressed his hope to return soon, aiming to support the Mets in their playoff chase, though he acknowledged that his goal of playing every game this season has been compromised. Despite his injury, Lindor has been a strong performer this season, contributing significantly to the team's efforts. The Mets are currently vying for a Wild Card spot, tied with the Braves, and will face the Phillies again in a crucial match. The team's manager, Carlos Mendoza, indicated Lindor's status remains day-to-day as they prepare for the upcoming games.
