PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mets All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor will have an MRI on his sore back after it forced him out of a game for the second time in three days.
Lindor left Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies with lower back discomfort in the middle of the second inning. Lindor also came out of Friday’s game in the middle of the seventh inning and was held out of the lineup on Saturday.
He singled to center leading off the game Sunday and had an assist on Trea Turner’s grounder in the bottom half. Lindor said he felt the discomfort after taking the first few steps out of the batter’s box on his first-inning hit.
He will be evaluated on Monday and have further tests.
“It’s extremely difficult,” he said. “As someone who wants to post and be available, it’s difficult to come out of a game and not be available.”
Lindor said the back discomfort has been bothering him for a while and it worsened during this series.
He is hitting .271 with 31 homers, 86 RBIs and 27 stolen bases. Lindor was batting .193 with seven homers and 22 RBIs through May 20 but since then is batting .307 with 24 homers and 64 RBIs in his last 101 games.
