Francisco Lindor Sits Out After Heroics Against Phillies

Francisco Lindor won't play in the series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies after his heroics on Saturday.

What happened?

The New York Mets beat Philadelphia 6-2 on Saturday, thanks in part to Lindor's 1-for-3 performance.

He had a triple in the win and feels good about his progress.

The Mets will look to win the series finale on Sunday without Lindor.

Lindor is still easing his way back into the lineup from injury, so the Mets are being cautious.

He's hitting .219 with 2 home runs and 7 RBIs this season.

The Mets need Lindor to get back to full strength if they want to turn their season around.

The Mets will face the Phillies on Sunday at 1:40 p.m. ET, looking to win the series.

Bo Bichette will shift to shortstop, while Mark Vientos handles third base, and Brett Baty plays second.

The Mets are 35-48 and last in the NL East, so they need to start winning soon.

Lindor believes the offense is starting to click, which is a positive sign for the team.

The Mets' owner, Steve Cohen, expressed his disappointment with the season so far.

He wants to bring a championship-caliber team to the fans, but it's not happening yet.

The Mets will likely be sellers ahead of the August 3 trade deadline.

Andy Green got his first win as interim manager on Saturday, which was a special moment for him.

He said the win was fun, but it's not about him, it's about the team.

The Mets will look to build on that win on Sunday without Lindor in the lineup.
