Overview

  • The Mets confirmed their All-Star shortstop recently had a right elbow debridement, which multiple outlets described as a minor cleanup.
  • Team doctors expect Lindor to regain full range of motion and resume full baseball activity by February, positioning him for spring training.
  • Lindor, 31, delivered a 2025 line of .267/.346/.466 with 31 home runs and 31 steals over roughly 160 games and was named an All-Star.
  • He played through a fractured pinky toe during the season and is now a finalist for the NL Silver Slugger at shortstop.
  • New York finished 83-79 after a late-season slide and missed the playoffs, making Lindor’s recovery a key offseason consideration for 2026.
