"This is a guy who has played through broken toes and a lower back [injury] two years ago when he could barely walk, and he played through it. We're going to remain optimistic that he's going to be available to us, but we'll just have to wait and see. Knowing the person, knowing the player, the athlete, I'm pretty comfortable saying he's going to be ready to go."
"He is coming off a 2025 season in which he posted an .811 OPS with 31 home runs, 31 stolen bases, and 86 RBI. While the expectation is that he will miss little to no time, one of the side effects of this surgery is the power aspect of a slugger's bat lagging behind. After losing Pete Alonso in the offseason, that could put further stress on a new-look offense that does not boast nearly as much home-run hitting prowess."
Francisco Lindor will undergo surgery on his left hamate bone and is expected to miss approximately six weeks. The Mets estimate his return around Opening Day and remain optimistic he will be ready, with manager Carlos Mendoza noting Lindor's history of playing through injuries and the team’s plans to keep him in shape. Shortstop reps at camp will be shared by Ronny Mauricio, Vidal Brujan, and Grae Kessinger. Lindor posted a .811 OPS with 31 home runs, 31 stolen bases, and 86 RBI in 2025. The hamate surgery could temporarily reduce his power, adding pressure after Pete Alonso's departure.
