Mets' Carlos Mendoza not sensing any frustration from Francisco Lindor amid career-worst slump
Francisco Lindor continues to fight through it offensively. After taking another 0-for during Tuesday's comeback win over the Angels, the Mets' shortstop is now hitless over his last 30 at-bats, which is a career-worst slump. Mets fans even tried to will him to a big knock as they did when he struggled during the early part of last season, but it was to no avail this time around. Despite the rough stretch, Carlos Mendoza isn't sensing another frustration from his superstar talent. 'The one thing with him is he's always so steady,' the second-year manager said. 'It doesn't matter whether he's going 4-for-4 and hitting walk-off homers, he's going to be the same guy no matter what -- it's all about winning ballgames for him. 'It's how he engages on defense with teammates, the conversations in the dugout and helping the younger guys too -- whether it's approach, what he's seeing from the pitchers. He's pretty steady and we haven't seen any signs of frustration or anything like that.' The Mets have now won three straight despite receiving nothing from their everyday No. 2 hitter. Mendoza indicated pregame that he feels Lindor has been chasing at times and he's been a little long with his swing from the left-side of the plate, but he's also hit into some tough luck over the past few games. 'That's just part of it,' he added. 'But the one thing with him it he's too smart -- this is a guy who is watching film all the time, he's talking with the hitting coaches constantly, he was out there hitting early yesterday and again today. It's not the first time, it's not going to be the last time, he'll get through it.' But how exactly does the skipper think he'll get through it? 'He's aggressive, he's going to go out there and he's going to swing,' he said. 'The 0-for-3 with a walk is an 0-for-4 because he's going to go out there and he's going hack -- that's just the type of player he is and the player he's always been. 'We're talking about a future Hall of Famer, his way to get out of slumps is by swinging, that's just who he is.'

Mets activate Starling Marte from injured list
NEW YORK (AP) — Designated hitter Starling Marte was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday by the New York Mets. Marte was available off the bench against the Los Angeles Angels. The 36-year-old veteran outfielder had been sidelined since July 7 with a bruised right knee. He was hitting .270 with four home runs, 20 RBIs and a .739 OPS in 58 games. In other roster moves, the Mets optioned DH Jared Young and reliever Kevin Herget to Triple-A Syracuse following Monday night's 7-5 victory over the Angels. Right-hander Chris Devenski was designated for assignment. In their place, right-hander Justin Garza was recalled from Syracuse and Rico Garcia was added to the bullpen after reporting to the major league club. Garcia pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings of one-hit ball over two relief appearances for the Mets earlier this month. He was claimed off waivers by the crosstown-rival New York Yankees and had one shaky outing for them last Friday in Atlanta before the Mets claimed him off waivers again Monday. New York also announced that left-hander Brandon Waddell's optional assignment to Syracuse was reversed, and he was placed on the 15-day injured list (effective July 19) with a right hip impingement. Waddell slipped on the mound during his most recent appearance last Friday against Cincinnati. He got through the rest of his outing and seemed to be OK, but then his hip worsened in the days that followed, manager Carlos Mendoza said. Waddell became the 11th pitcher on the Mets' injured list. ___ AP MLB:
