Francisco Lindor

Of note for Mets fans, the star shortstop hit a home run in his first official at-bat after his daughter Amapola Chlo was born in 2023.

No word just yet on when Lindor will rejoin the Mets. Luisangel Acuna will fill in for him at shortstop.

Lindor is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins following the birth of his child, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The Mets didn't produce much offense in their opening series loss to the Astros, and at the center of the very early skid is their superstar shortstop.

Brown was on fire to start this game as he struck out Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto right off the bat and touched 100 MPH in the process. The Mets jumped on him in the second after a strange play where he picked off Brandon Nimmo, but Brendan Rodgers dropped the ball at second base. Then, Soto got him back with a loud home run. Still, it was a solid start for Brown who forced 13 swings-and-misses and was fearless in challenging the Mets' hitters at the top of the zone. Truthfully, anything is better than the way Brown started last season and it doesn't seem like he is going to slide back to that level of ineffectiveness any time soon. He's scheduled to face the Twins in his next start.
