Lindor's Stitches Out, Expected to Resume Impact Activities Soon

Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor had the stitches removed from his left hand on Tuesday and is anticipated to begin "impact" activities within the next 2-3 days, manager Carlos Mendoza reported. Lindor has experienced no complications since undergoing surgery two weeks ago for a fractured hamate bone and is poised to start a hitting progression shortly. While regaining full power may take time, he is expected to avoid a stint on the injured list to begin the season, provided he experiences no discomfort.
