Francisco Lindor didn’t get much sleep Friday night and his daughter was born early Saturday morning. But he still pinch hit in the Mets’ 5-3 loss.
Lindor had been a constant in the Mets’ lineup this season for their first 69 games, but the shortstop, in the second year of a 10-year, $341 million contract extension signed in 2021, has struggled.He has just one multi-hit game since May 26, 11 for the season and a strikeout rate of nearly one per game, at 68, that’s on pace to shatter his numbers from past seasons.
“When you’re in his position, you’re gonna be constantly critiqued,” Showalter said. “He wants to play. He wants to set an example everyday. He wants to be there for his teammates.” Showalter said he doesn’t expect Lindor to end up on the paternity list, and he reiterated after the game that he anticipated the shortstop returning to the lineup Sunday in the series finale, barring any complications.
“Obviously, his priorities are where they should be,” Showalter said. “He’ll go home. Appreciate him coming in, and he may have come in here to get a little better shot at sleep — I don’t know. “It’s gonna be up to him, where he feels comfortable and she feels comfortable. They got a lot of help at home, but still being there, that’s a priority. Right now, I’m planning on him being back, but we’re gonna be prepared to go a different direction.”
