"It was a really good experience. I felt like I was pretty much like myself, and I finished the game healthy. Overall, it was a good day for me. Lindor expressed confidence following his return, indicating he experienced no complications during his first action against major league pitching since undergoing surgery for his hamate bone injury."
"Hamate-related injuries usually have a recovery timeline of 4-to-8 weeks, and Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns put a six-week timetable on Lindor when he had his surgery on February 11. Lindor didn't hit any setbacks and was able to start playing in minor league Spring Training games within a month of his surgery."
Francisco Lindor made his spring training debut against Major League competition, starting at shortstop and recording one hit in three at-bats over four innings in the Mets' 8-1 victory over the Blue Jays. Lindor underwent surgery for a left hamate bone injury just before spring camp began, raising concerns about his availability for Opening Day on March 26. The Mets eased him back gradually, initially planning two at-bats but allowing a third plate appearance due to the team's offensive dominance. Lindor reported feeling like himself and finishing healthy. The club plans to play him every other day while continuing to monitor his progress, with all indicators suggesting he will be fully ready for the season opener.
