Good morning, Mets fans!
Despite poor play from the team, several Mets players are on track for a return to play in the coming weeks. Carlos Mendoza shared in a video from SNY Mets that Francisco Lindor has started baseball activities, although there is still no timetable for his return.
In more immediate news, there is a “good chance” that Jared Young will be activated on Tuesday, and a possibility that LHP A.J. Minter could follow the same track.
Jorge Polanco went through a full workout on Monday, and will possibly begin a rehab assignment this week. Francisco Alvarez is hot on his heels, as the catcher has already begun baseball activities and appears to be on track to beat his eight-week timetable.
Kodai Senga is getting closer to a return to play, as the righty threw a bullpen on Monday and the goal is for him to make a rehab start on Thursday.
Finally, there is still no update on Luis Robert Jr.
