The New York Mets have a strong season record of 39-24, ranking second in the NL despite recent losses. However, star shortstop Francisco Lindor is sidelined with a toe injury and will miss the game against the Colorado Rockies. Manager Carlos Mendoza announced that Lindor is feeling “a little bit better” and could return as early as Saturday or Sunday, which is crucial as he has been a key player for the team this season, hitting .279 with 14 home runs and 36 RBIs.
