Reinstated ahead of Game 2 The Mets reinstated Lindor (calf) from the 10-day injured list ahead of the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.
Impact Lindor will make his return to the lineup after he had been shelved since April 23 due to a left calf strain. Prior to his activation, Lindor appeared in three rehab games with Triple-A Syracuse, going 3-for-13 with one walk and one stolen base. Since Lindor didn't play on consecutive days during his rehab assignment, the Mets could look to give him another day off in the near future, but the five-time All-Star should more or less settle back in as the club's everyday shortstop.

Returning for Game 2 of twin bill Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed that Lindor (calf) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to the second game of the Mets' doubleheader Wednesday with the Cubs, Will...
Impact The Mets weren't planning of having Lindor play both ends of the twin bill after he played eight innings at shortstop Tuesday in his third and final rehab game with Triple-A Syracuse, so the five-time All-Star will remain off the roster of the early contest of the doubleheader to give the team some more flexibility. Lindor should return to the lineup for the nightcap in what will be his first appearance for the Mets since April 22. Before straining his left calf, Lindor slashed just .226/.314/.355 over 105 plate appearances for New York, with fractured right hamate bone he sustained in February likely contributing to his slow start.

Could be activated during twin bill Lindor (calf) might be activated from the 10-day injured list between games during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact After playing eight innings at shortstop in a rehab game for Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday and going 2-for-5, Lindor is on the doorstep of activation. The Mets won't want him to play both ends of the twin bill Wednesday, however, so adding him back to the roster for the nightcap would leave the team at full strength for the matinee. Lindor has been shelved since April 22 with a calf strain, and he's expected to be eased back into action after he didn't play back-to-back days in official games during his rehab assignment.

Could return from IL on Wednesday Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Lindor (calf) could return from the 10-day injured list as soon as Wednesday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Lindor is slated to make the third appearance of his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Syracuse, and if he receives a positive evaluation when he's re-examined following that game, the Mets will likely activate the veteran shortstop. Bo Bichette has been serving as the Mets' primary option at shortstop since a left calf strain forced Lindor to the IL on April 23, but Bichette will shift back to third base on a full-time basis once the five-time All-Star is back in the fold.

Closing in on return Lindor (calf) played all nine innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, and he's expected to play a simulated game Monday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact The star shortstop will likely then get a day off before potentially being activated from the injured list Wednesday. Even if Lindor needs a little more time at that point, he's tracking toward a return to the big-league lineup this week. Through his first 105 plate appearances this season prior to straining his left calf April 22, Lindor had a .226/.314/.335 slash line with two homers, two steals, five RBI and 14 runs.

Beginning assignment Friday Lindor (calf) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Binghamton on Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Impact Lindor has been on the shelf since late April due to a strained left calf, but after resuming full baseball activities last week, he's now been cleared to test his calf in minor-league games. The Mets expect the star infielder to return to their lineup before the end of the month, so it doesn't seem like he's in line for a lengthy stay in the minors.

JUNE 16 • SI.COM
Could begin rehab stint next week Lindor (calf) played three innings in a simulated game Friday, and he could begin an official rehab assignment Monday, MLB.com reports.
Impact The star shortstop's absence from the lineup since April 22 has been a big factor in the Mets' poor start to the season, but Lindor appears to be closing in on his return. The team seems confident he won't need a lengthy rehab stint despite the long layoff, which could put him in position to be back in the lineup for a home series against the Phillies that begins June 26. Prior to straining his calf, Lindor has just begun to get rolling at the plate, slashing .304/.319/.457 over his last 12 games.
