NEW YORK -- Francisco Lindor wasn't in the New York Mets ' lineup for the sixth straight game Saturday as he continues to deal with a back injury -- and it won't be the last time he misses a game in 2024.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said the earliest Lindor will return is Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves, meaning he'll also miss Sunday's series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies before the club's off-day Monday.
A return Tuesday, however, is far from guaranteed. Lindor on Friday said that he received a facet injection in his lower back Thursday to treat the pain in hopes of accelerating the healing.
