MILWAUKEE — The Mets addressed two weaknesses in one swoop with Francisco Lindor ’s move to a new “position,” at least for Saturday’s game.
Mendoza indicated he hopes to have Lindor resume playing shortstop on Sunday, but it’s also possible the DH experiment will last beyond one day.“I think it’s going to depend on what Stearns wants to do,” Lindor said, referring to the Mets president of baseball operations. “If they feel I am better off at shortstop, I will play shortstop. If they feel I am better off at DH, I will do that. I am doing whatever it takes to win.
The rookie was relegated to the bench with Lindor’s return, but that equation could change depending on what happens with the DH spot. “I think we’re in a special situation,” Lindor said. “We put ourselves in a position where we are playing for the playoffs. It could have been way worse, but right now we’re in a good spot.”The shortstop had been playing through back discomfort even before aggravating the situation on a baserunning play on Sept. 13.
