Mets shortstop returns to minor league action after calf injury

Francisco Lindor appeared in a Double-A game for Binghamton on Friday, marking his first minor league action since suffering a calf injury. The shortstop had last played in the majors on April 22. That night the Mets defeated the Twins to end a 12-game losing streak.

Since then the team has compiled a 26-25 record. Lindor’s return to the active roster could occur within several days, according to the New York Post.

Injury timeline Lindor sustained the calf strain while running the bases during the April 22 contest. The same game marked the first time he shared the field with outfielder Juan Soto following Soto’s own calf injury. The Mets finished that contest without two starting position players.
