After a letdown offseason and a shaky start to the year, the Cleveland Indians finally received some much-needed good news.
Francisco Lindor, whose status remained cloudy thanks to uncertainty surrounding his sprained ankle, appears to have dodged any devastating diagnoses. While his official recovery timeline is still to be determined, he’s expected back within the next few weeks.
This is obviously a welcome relief for the Indians, whose offense has been mostly frigid out of the gate. However, this hardly means Cleveland is in the clear. While Lindor’s return will be a big boost, the Tribe’s offense can’t solely rely on him once he’s back in the fold.
