CLEVELAND (AP) — Francisco Lindor missed all the little moments. The big ones, too.
"Every pitch. Every out. Every celebration after every win," the Cleveland Indians' All-Star shortstop said. "It was everything equally."
Sidelined for the season's first 18 games, Lindor was activated from the injured list Saturday before a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves. Lindor had been out since spraining his left ankle while running the bases near the end of spring training as he was rehabbing a right calf sprain.
For the 25-year-old, the time away from his teammates and a season's subtle moments was difficult.
