Mets' Francisco Lindor sits vs Dodgers with broken toe, not headed to the injured list just yet

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Francisco Lindor is not immediately headed to the injured list after his toe was broken by a pitch in the New York Mets' game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. Lindor wasn't available to play for the Mets on Thursday, but manager Carlos Mendoza called him day-to-day. Lindor told reporters that he will continue to play if he can manage the pain this weekend against Colorado. Lindor's right pinky toe was broken by a pitch from right-hander Tony Gonsolin in the first inning of the third game of the Mets' four-game series at Dodger Stadium. Lindor played the rest of the game despite being in apparently obvious pain, and the fracture was found afterward. Luisangel Acuña filled in for Lindor at shortstop Thursday, while Brandon Nimmo took his spot as the Mets' leadoff hitter. Lindor is batting .279 with 14 homers, 36 RBIs and a .843 OPS for the Mets. He finished second to the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani in the NL MVP voting last season. Coincidentally, Lindor also broke his finger in a hotel door during a series against the Dodgers three years ago. Lindor said that break still hurts occasionally. ___ AP MLB:

(AP Photo/David Dermer) LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts fractured his fourth left toe and missed his second straight game Saturday. 'The last couple days, it's been hard for him to even put on a shoe, so that's obviously why he's not in the lineup,' manager Dave Roberts said. 'But I still don't believe it's going to be an IL stint. I think day-to-day is fair right now.' Advertisement Roberts said Betts injured himself after the Dodgers returned from their road trip midweek. 'It was something in the middle of the night in his house, in his bedroom," he said. "It was dark and he kind of hit something.' Rookie Hyeseong Kim started in Betts' place Saturday against the New York Yankees. Betts missed the Dodgers' season-opening series in Japan with an illness that caused him to drop weight because he wasn't able to keep food down. ___ AP MLB:
