Mets' Francisco Lindor exits Wednesday's game vs. Twins with left calf tightness

Mets  shortstop Francisco Lindor exited Wednesday's game against the Twins with left calf tightness. In the fourth inning, Francisco Alvarez lined a double that split the center and right fielders while Lindor was on first base. Lindor rounded third base and seemed to grimace before sliding safely feet first into home plate.

Lindor went into the tunnel, but did not come out for the top of the fifth. Bo Bichette moved to shortstop and Brett Baty came in to play third. Lindor left after going 2-for-2 with an RBI infield single in the first inning, and is one of the Mets' hottest hitters.

Over his last seven games, including Wednesday, Lindor is 9-for-25 with two home runs and five RBI. That production allowed Mets manager Carlos Mendoza to move Lindor to the cleanup spot in Wednesday's game. The injury also comes as the Mets welcomed back Juan Soto to the lineup after their slugger missed 15 games with a calf strain.
