Lindor Out as Mets Navigate Rough Season

Francisco Lindor sits out today’s game against the Phillies despite his strong performance yesterday, which helped the Mets win 6-2 — but caution remains as he recovers from injury. Bo Bichette steps in at shortstop, while Mark Vientos moves to third and Brett Baty takes over second. Lindor’s season stats: .219 AVG, 2 HR, 7 RBI. He praised the team’s offensive effort and credited the training staff for his readiness. This win also marked interim manager Andy Green’s first victory as skipper. The Mets remain in last place in the NL East (35-48), following the firing of Carlos Mendoza. Owner Steve Cohen admitted the season has been a disappointment and fans deserve better. With the Aug. 3 trade deadline near, expect major moves as the Mets look to turn things around. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
