During a tense Brewers–Mets game, SNY's feed went dark just as Francisco Lindor made a spectacular defensive play; fans joked online, but the Mets still pulled off a 3-2 walk-off win in the 10th.
Fernando Tatís Jr. powered the Padres to a 5-2 win over the Mets with two homers and a Lindor grand-slam robbery, while New York promoted several prospects, activated Austin Warren, and saw Carson Benge win the Heart and Hustle Award; Iglesias returned for a ceremonial first pitch, and MLB-wide notes included Ketel Marte heading to Arizona for a knee MRI, Trey Mancini’s retirement, and Edwin Díaz to the IL, plus minor-league updates and a Mets history feature.
The New York Mets were swept at Citi Field by the Colorado Rockies in a three-game set, scoring only four runs and slipping to 9-19—the worst MLB record—on a pace to be shut out roughly 29 times and to score one run in about half their games. Frustration grows as Francisco Lindor deals a calf strain and other key players deal with injuries, while GM David Stearns’ roster moves are under scrutiny and an in-season reckoning seems likely rather than a patient rebuild.
Francisco Lindor was placed on the Mets’ 10-day injured list with a left calf strain and will wear a walking boot for about a week, with a full re-evaluation in three weeks. If cleared in mid‑May, he would need roughly a week of activities plus rehab games to rejoin the lineup by late May, though the exact timeline remains uncertain. The Mets, off to a slow start at 9-17, will rely on Ronny Mauricio at short in Lindor’s absence, as Lindor’s earlier hamate surgery and subpar early-season numbers add to the challenge.
The Mets placed Francisco Lindor on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain. In a corresponding move, Ronny Mauricio was recalled (along with Christian Scott, while Austin Warren was optioned). Lindor will undergo an MRI, and his absence forces the Mets to reorganize the infield as they cope with a rough start (8-16) after snapping a 12-game skid with Soto back in action.
Francisco Lindor returned to spring training action after left hamate surgery, going 1-for-3 in the Mets’ rain-shortened win over the Blue Jays. New York plans to ease him back, playing him every other day, and while a six-week timetable had been floated, Lindor is expected to be ready for Opening Day on March 26 against the Pirates as he builds up game reps.
The World Baseball Classic faces a participation crisis as multiple stars, notably Puerto Rico captain Francisco Lindor, are denied insurance to play and risk withdrawing. MLB and the MLBPA are pressuring the insurer to reverse decisions, while players without coverage can still play at their own expense, risk salary loss, or skip the tournament. Denials frequently cite age or recent injuries, and the situation echoes past injuries that have raised the stakes. With rosters due soon and the March 5 start approaching, teams may need last-minute replacements.
