Francisco Lindor Dealing With Grade 2 Oblique Strain
3 years agoNew York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (oblique), who was put on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, has a Grade 2 oblique strain. Lindor said he doesn't have a timetable for a return. "I'd love to say it's day to day, but it's not. It's more week to week." Despite the bad news for the Mets and fantasy managers, Lindor is confident that he will return this year. Don't expect a quick return, as oblique injuries are often tricky to come back from. The 27-year-old has a disappointing .228 average and .326 on-base percentage, but he has 11 home runs and eight stolen bases and is a must-stash in all fantasy leagues. Luis Guillorme is starting at the 6 on Saturday and should see increased playing time with Lindor out, but he's strictly an NL-only asset.
