Lindor's Opening Day Status: Mets Hopeful, Spring Training Crucial

It's March 12 for the New York Mets. Let's get into it.

As baseball's opening day draws near, the New York Mets are watching closely to see

if star shortstop Francisco Lindor will be ready.

He underwent offseason surgery on his left hemate bone, leaving his status for the season

opener somewhat up in the air.

Over the past two weeks, Lindor has stepped up his baseball activities, gradually building

toward full-game readiness. This progress has the team hopeful he can return soon.

Inside the organization, including from President David Sterns, there's real optimism about

Lindor suiting up on opening day. Everyone knows how vital he is to the lineup, every

single game.

That said, Sterns made it clear that playing in spring training games is a must for Lindor

to lock in his spot on the opening day roster. A few outings there will be crucial.

Meanwhile, with the regular season just around the corner, the Mets are prioritizing those

final reps to make sure their key player is fully healthy.
