Although the injury occurred on Wednesday, he is not expected to be placed on the injured list for now.\n\nManager Carlos Mendoza indicated that Lindor is considered day-to-day and was unavailable for the final game of the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. It has not yet been confirmed whether Lindor will return for Friday&#8217;s game against the Colorado Rockies.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If I can tolerate the pain, yes, I will play. If I can&#8217;t, then it wouldn&#8217;t be fair to play with 25 players on the roster. It&#8217;s not fair to the guys who are here. I hope to feel well enough, whether it&#8217;s tomorrow, the next day, or whenever.<\/p>\n<cite>Francisco Lindor<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The injury occurred in the first inning of Wednesday&#8217;s game, when Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin hit Lindor with a slider. Despite the obvious pain, Lindor remained in the game and played all nine innings. Subsequent X-rays confirmed the fracture.<\/p>\n\n\nLindor explained that the pain is greater when wearing sneakers or shoes with cleats. He acknowledged that he anticipates it will be a persistent problem that generally requires six weeks to heal completely. Upon returning, he hopes to play shortstop and not be a designated hitter.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>From my perspective, if I&#8217;m good enough to hit and run, I should be good enough to play shortstop. But at the end of the day, I trust the coaches and what they think is best, I&#8217;ll do it.<\/p>\n<cite>Francisco Lindor<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nMendoza announced that Luisangel Acu\u00f1a, who played shortstop on Thursday, will cover Lindor&#8217;s position, although Ronny Mauricio is also an option. Brandon Nimmo replaced Lindor as the Mets&#8217; leadoff hitter for Thursday&#8217;s game.\n\n\n<p>Lindor, runner-up for National League MVP last season, is batting .279\/.353\/.490 with 14 home runs and 11 stolen bases. Six of his home runs have been as a leadoff hitter. His 2.7 WAR was tied for fifth in the National League before Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the second time in his career that Lindor has fractured a bone during a series against the Dodgers. In June 2022, he fractured his right middle finger while closing a hotel door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Three years ago, I broke my finger here and it still hurts a lot. So it&#8217;s part of the physical effort of a professional athlete. These are things we go through. It&#8217;s what God wanted this week and I will handle it. It could have been worse.<\/p>\n<cite>Francisco Lindor<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francisco Lindor Suffers Fracture in Pinky Toe The New York Mets shortstop, Francisco Lindor, suffered a fracture in the pinky toe of his right foot after being hit by a pitch.
