Francisco Lindor Struggles Amid Uncharacteristic Defensive Errors

Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor is facing scrutiny after committing three defensive errors in two days, including miscues during Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Athletics. Manager Carlos Mendoza labeled the lapses as uncharacteristic and difficult to explain as the team attempts to snap a four-game losing streak. Lindor has admitted he needs to be better, though he currently lacks answers for his puzzling play during this unusually strange start to his 2026 campaign.
