The New York Mets manager Luis Rojas, did not rule out that shortstop Francisco Lindor be activated from the disabled list when the team returns from its West Coast trip. The Metropolitans will return to Citi Field on Aug. 24 against the San Francisco Giants.
Lindor, who has been off duty since mid-July due to a grade 2 right oblique strain, was seen working hard Sunday afternoon, hours before the Mets played the Los Angeles Dodgers:
Lindor was doing infield drills, and the interesting thing was that he was throwing for balls and taking longer throws with no problem.
Lindor then took a live batting practice from the right side of the plate and started running the bases. He was also able to take BP from the left side, but swung on the BP coach’s throws. It’s easy to understand why Rojas is optimistic about Lindor’s possible return.
Boricua Lindor will travel with the team to the West Coast and will continue to face live pitching and fielding drills.

The team isn’t sure if Lindor will go on a rehab assignment soon after. The Mets want to see how he responds to the speed of the game, especially when swinging from the left side of the plate.

I am fond of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), signings of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I carry baseball in my veins. Bachelor of Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I came to El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services in Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and within days, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
