Francisco Lindor appears headed to the injured list with a calf strain sustained Wednesday in the New York Mets' first win in the past 12 games, with Ronny Mauricio getting the call to replace him on the roster.
Mauricio is batting .293 with an OPS of .987 for the Mets' Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse.
Lindor was heating up at the plate, but there has been nothing wrong with Mauricio's swing of late. He belted three home runs on Tuesday night to give him six in 58 at-bats in the minors this season along with five stolen bases and 13 RBIs.
Mauricio, 25, had one hit in four at-bats in a brief stint with the Mets earlier this season.
Lindor had two hits in two at-bats on Wednesday before exiting with calf tightness. He's batting .226 on the season. But Lindor was settling in over the past nine games with 11 hits in 33 at-bats to raise his average from .188.
Lindor's injury occurred in Juan Soto's first game since he went down with a calf injury against the San Francisco Giants on April 3. The Mets lost 12 consecutive games after a 4-4 start with Soto in the lineup and entered Thursday with an 8-16 record.
