Lindor healing from broken toe and could be lineup for Mets this weekend, Manaea makes rehab start
DENVER (AP) — Shortstop Francisco Lindor's broken toe is healing fast enough that he may soon be back in the lineup for the New York Mets.
Possibly even this weekend.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said before Friday's game against Colorado that Lindor did some running and went through some drills in the cage. He might even have some type of availability Friday, Mendoza added.
Lindor's right pinky toe was broken by a pitch from Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin in the first inning on Wednesday. He sat out Thursday.
'I feel a little bit better today than how I felt yesterday,' Mendoza said about Lindor's availability against last-place Colorado. 'I thought maybe even the full series. But watching him today, talking to him, I wouldn't be surprised if he's in the lineup (Saturday) or the next day.'
Ronny Mauricio filled in for Lindor at shortstop against the Rockies on Friday, while Brandon Nimmo was in the leadoff spot.
Lindor is hitting .279 with 14 homers and 36 RBIs this season. He finished runner-up to Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani in the NL MVP race last season.
In Wilmington, Delaware, Mets
lefty Sean Manaea
made a rehab start for High-A Brooklyn against the Blue Rocks. He threw 36 pitches — 26 strikes — over 1 2/3 innings, allowing four hits and three earned runs. Manaea, who has been sidelined all season by an oblique injury, struck out two and didn't walk a batter.
The 33-year-old Manaea re-signed as a free agent with the Mets
for $75 million over three years
. He went 12-6 with a 3.47 ERA in 32 starts last season.

Mets being Dodgers' peers should force David Stearns to alter trade deadline formula
So much has changed for the Mets in the past calendar year. Access the Mets beat like never before Don't miss Mike Puma's text messages from Queens and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Mets. Sign up Now On June 8 of last year, the Mets were 27-36, fourth in the NL East and, even in a forgiving National League in which just five teams were above .500 at that time, Fangraphs gave them just an 11.3 percent chance to make the playoffs. Advertisement From then through their series against the Dodgers, the Mets had played the equivalent of a 162-game season and had gone 101-61, which was five games better than the second-best record — which belonged to the Tigers, another incredible before-and-after picture. Perhaps nothing exemplifies the transformation for the Mets in this time better than how toe-to-toe competitive they were in the recently completed home-and-home with the Dodgers. By this time last year, the Mets also were done with their regular season games against Los Angeles and had gone 2-4, including getting swept three games at Citi Field by a combined 18-5 in late May.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts Sends Clear Message About Latest Position Change
Dodgers' Mookie Betts Sends Clear Message About Latest Position Change originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For the first time in a long time, Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts looks, dare we say it, mortal. Advertisement Lost amid Shohei Ohtani's latest incredible season is Betts' relatively quiet numbers, at least by his standards. Betts owns a .268 average with eight home runs, 32 RBI, and a .752 OPS through 251 plate appearances. Although Betts is already worth 2.0 bWAR, he's on track for career lows in average and OPS. He's also only mustered six doubles, putting him in jeopardy of his fewest doubles since his 2014 rookie campaign. Could it be Father Time sneaking up on the 32-year-old slugger? Whatever it is, Betts shot down the idea that his full-time move to shortstop has impacted his swing. "Last year, I think I was about to win MVP," Betts told reporters. For the record, Betts finished 13th in NL MVP voting, his lowest finish since 2021. Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie BettsBrad Penner-Imagn Images "I was doing way more work last year than now," the eight-time All-Star continued. "So, no, that's not the case. ... There's no excuses. It's just a matter of me getting it done." Advertisement After primarily playing right field from 2016-23, Betts split last season between shortstop, the outfield, and second base. He's exclusively played shortstop thus far. Betts indeed got it done on Friday night, going 3-for-4 in a 5-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Neither Betts nor manager Dave Roberts have signaled he could switch positions again. Tommy Edman has posted 1.4 bWAR and a .748 OPS as the Dodgers' starting second baseman, and Roberts appears committed to keeping the struggling Michael Conforto in left field.
