Mets' Francisco Lindor Has Surgery on Elbow Injury; Expected to Be Ready by Spring
Francisco Lindor addressed an elbow injury early in the offseason.
The New York Mets announced that the shortstop underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow on Tuesday. The 29-year-old is expected to be healthy and available at the start of spring training.
New York was arguably the most disappointing team in baseball at 75-87 this season, but Lindor was a bright spot.
He appeared in 160 games and slashed .254/.336/.470 with 31 home runs, 98 RBI and 31 stolen bases. His wins above replacement total of 6.0, per Baseball Reference, was the second-best mark of his career behind only his 7.2 tally in 2018 when he was an All-Star for Cleveland.
