PITTSBURGH — New York Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor is out indefinitely with a strained oblique and ace Jacob deGrom is sidelined with forearm tightness, the NL East leaders announced Saturday in their latest round of health setbacks.
The Mets didn't put a timetable on Lindor's return, but such injuries can often take a month or more to heal.
DeGrom felt discomfort Friday while throwing a bullpen in Pittsburgh. An MRI hours later revealed forearm tightness but no structural damage.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner hasn't yet been slotted back into the rotation and there is no projection on when he might pitch again.
