Francisco Lindor’s Ongoing Health Concerns

In a recent development, Francisco Lindor, the acclaimed shortstop for the New York Mets, is due for additional medical examinations, including an MRI, following an early exit from Sunday’s match against the Philadelphia Phillies due to ongoing back pain. Lindor’s premature exit from the game was witnessed twice in the same week, highlighting his ongoing health concerns.

Recurrent Back Discomfort: A Thorn in Lindor’s Side

The All-Star shortstop’s struggle with back discomfort became apparent when he had to leave Friday’s match halfway through the seventh inning due to lower back pain. As a precautionary measure, he was kept aside from Saturday’s lineup. The discomfort continued to trouble him on Sunday, becoming evident when he was taking his initial steps out of the batter’s box after his leadoff single in the first inning.

A Difficult Time for Lindor

“It’s incredibly challenging,” shared Lindor, post the 2-1 defeat on Sunday. “Being someone who is always ready to be on the field and perform, it’s tough to step back from a game and be on the sidelines.” Lindor expressed that the back discomfort has been a persistent issue for him and has seen an escalation during this series.
