The New York Mets announced that shortstop Francisco Lindor was scratched from Friday evening's home game against the Atlanta Braves with right side soreness. He will undergo imaging on Saturday, when the Mets plan to provide a update on his status.
Jonathan Araúz replaced Lindor at shortstop.
Lindor has been pretty durable over his career, appearing in at least 125 games in six of his eight seasons and in all 60 games during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
The 29-year-old has been one of the best shortstops in baseball over his career, earning four All-Star selections, two Gold Gloves, two Silver Slugger awards and one Platinum Glove.
