Overview

• Francisco Lindor will make his first All-Star start since 2019 when he takes the shortstop position for the National League in Atlanta on July 15.
• He ended an 8-for-60 stretch by going 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs in Game 2 of the July 2 doubleheader against the Brewers.
• His nod reflects a blend of strong fan voting and on-field production during a first half that rebounded from early struggles.
• After the game at Citi Field, his daughters Kalina and Amapola surprised him with a homemade “Congrats All Star (Papa)” sign in a video shared by his wife, Katia.
• Lindor’s resurgence offers a boost to a Mets lineup whose fortunes have closely tracked their star shortstop’s performance.
