Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor exits game with left calf tightness
No sooner did the struggling New York Mets get a star player back than another one went down with a similar injury.
Francisco Lindor was removed Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins with left calf tightness, just hours after teammate Juan Soto came off the injured list.
Lindor labored around the bases while scoring from first on Francisco Alvarez’s fourth-inning double.
The switch-hitting shortstop headed down the dugout tunnel with an athletic trainer and was replaced in the lineup by Brett Baty, who entered at third base in the top of the fifth.
Bo Bichette slid over from third base to shortstop.
