Mets: Lindor has a fracture on the foot, he will not go to il

The Puerto Rican Campocorto Francisco Lindor fractured his little finger and did not go out to play the last game of the series against Dodgers on Thursday.

Los Angeles – The New York Mets campocorto, Francisco Lindor, fractured the little finger of the right foot to be beaten by a launch on Wednesday, but it is not expected to enter the list of injured, at least for now.

On the other hand, Lindor is being evaluated day by day, since the manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that he was not available for the last game of the Thursday’s series against Los Angeles Dodgers.

Mendoza did not commit to Lindor returning for Friday’s game against the Colorado Rockies.

“If I can tolerate the pain, I will play,” Lindor said. “If I can’t, it would be unfair to play with 25 players in the template. It is not fair for those here. I hope to feel good enough, either tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or when it is.”

The injury occurred in the first entrance of the game on Wednesday when Dodgers’s right pitcher Tony Gonsolin bounced a slider on Lindor’s foot to open the game. Lindor seemed to have immense pain, but remained in the game and played the nine entries. Subsequent radiographs revealed the fracture.

Lindor said the pain is worse when it puts shoes or tacos. He acknowledged that he believes that it will be a persistent discomfort that usually takes six weeks to heal completely. When he returns, he hopes to play as a campocorto and not as a designated batter.

“In my opinion, if I am good enough to hit and run, I should be able and good enough to play as a campocorto,” Lindor said. “But in the end, as I said, I trust physical trainers and what they consider to be the best, I stay with that.”

Mendoza said Luis Ángel Acuña, who opened as a campocorto on Thursday, will replace Lindor, but added that Ronny Mauricio is also an option. Brandon Nimmo replaced Lindor as the first bat of the Mets for Thursday’s game.

Lindor, runner -up of the MVP of the National League last season, has an average bat of .279/.353/.490 with 14 homers and 11 stolen bases. Six of your home runs have been when you open the entrance. His 2.7 FWAR tied him in the fifth place of the National League upon arriving on Thursday.

This is the second time in his career that Lindor fractures a bone during a series against the Dodgers. He fractured his right finger when he was hit by closing the door of a hotel in June 2022.

“Three years ago, I broke my finger here and it still hurts a lot,” said Lindor. “It is part of the physical wear of a professional athlete. It is something we pass for. It is what God wanted this week and I will accept it. It could have been worse.”
