All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain. He left Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins after running the bases in the fourth inning.
Francys Romero of BeisbolFR reports that Lindor's replacement on the roster is infielder Ronny Mauricio. Lindor's injury happened on the same day that superstar outfielder Juan Soto returned from the injured list . Soto missed 15 of the NL East club's previous games with a right calf strain.
