Mets' Francisco Lindor had June to forget offensively
Share and Follow

Juan Soto’s numbers were up across the board in June, but Francisco Lindor’s stats went in a different direction.

The Mets leadoff man posted a slash line of .204/.259/.369 with four homers and 14 runs scored in 103 at-bats.

“When he’s on, he’s aggressive and utilizes the entire field without chasing as frequently,” Carlos Mendoza commented prior to the rain delay on Tuesday against the Brewers. “Improvements can be seen in his swing choices when he is performing well. There have been instances in several games where it appears he is making progress, but then in some, he reverts to excessive chasing or failing to connect with good pitches, particularly in the beginning of counts.

“But I think he’s in one of those stretches where other players go through it, and if someone knows how to get through it and come out the other side, it’s Francisco.”

Soto produced a slash line of .322/.474/.722 in June with 11 homers following a slow start to the season.


Sean Manaea had the scheduled resumption of his minor league rehab assignment also washed out by rain.



Manaea was supposed to be back on the mound Tuesday night for Double-A Binghamton following last week’s scare that caused him to be shut down briefly with loose bodies in his pitching elbow.

The left-hander, who has been on the injured list all season due to an oblique issue, was supposed to pitch for the Rumble Ponies against Hartford.

The Mets said Manaea now will pitch for one of their minor league affiliates on Wednesday, but they did not specify which one.

“Let’s get through today first. With Manaea, we just gotta wait … and see how he responds afterwards,” Mendoza said before the rainouts were announced. “I think he’s [scheduled to throw] 45-50 [pitches] today and we’ll continue to take it one day at a time, one outing at a time.

“We’ll see how he bounces back from this one, but the fact that he’s in a real game, that’s a good sign, and we’ll go from there.”


Kodai Senga (hamstring) faced hitters Sunday in a live BP session and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, in addition to fielding practice.

Mendoza said “it’s possible” that Senga could then progress to a rehab assignment, but “we’ll see how he responds to the bullpen tomorrow.”

Tylor Megill (elbow) has another MRI exam upcoming, and according to Mendoza, “he’s definitely feeling better, but not throwing yet.”


Outfielder Jesse Winker (oblique) also was scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Binghamton. He is expected to play two games at Double-A, Mendoza said, before moving to Triple-A Syracuse this weekend after an off-day Thursday.


Clay Holmes is scheduled to pitch the opener on Wednesday at 1:10 p.m., and the Mets listed the nightcap (7:10 p.m.) as TBD instead of originally scheduled starter Blade Tidwell.

Freddy Peralta and Jacob Misiorowski are pitching for the Brewers.
