Morning Briefing: Lindor’s Status Still Unknown

Good morning, Mets fans!

Carlos Mendoza told the media that Francisco Lindor‘s back injury remains day-to-day; he missed his first game of the 2024 season Saturday. Mendoza added that he’ll have to go through a “series of exercises just to get ready” to return to regular playing time. SNY columnist John Harper added that Mendoza didn’t sound confident about Lindor’s possible return Sunday.

Luisangel Acuña made an immediate impact on the day of his debut, collecting a couple of knocks in the Mets’ 6-4 defeat.
