Trainer's Room:

Mets SS Francisco Lindor was feeling better, manager Carlos Mendoza said, and still hopes to return this week.
RHP Kodai Senga (left calf strain) threw another bullpen and went through some fielding drills. The team will wait to see how he feels Wednesday before announcing whether Senga's next step will be live batting practice, a minor league rehab game or another bullpen session. Senga hopes to come off the 60-day injured list next week — he becomes eligible on Sept. 25 — to provide even a few innings before the regular season ends. OF Brandon Nimmo was rested against the left-hander.


On Deck:

Mets LHP Jose Quintana (9-9, 3.91 ERA) makes his 30th start of the season when he faces Washington LHP DJ Herz (4-7, 3.70) in the series finale Wednesday night.

Update...


Sept. 19: SS Francisco Lindor (back tightness) sits out fourth straight game
Lindor was out of the Mets' lineup for a fourth consecutive night on Thursday and remains day to day, but he is making tangible progress on the road back from a bout of lower back tightness. A day after playing catch, Lindor stayed indoors and performed mobility exercises and worked in the weight room to help his back feel better, according to manager Carlos Mendoza.

On Monday, following a clean MRI on his lower back, Lindor estimated that he would return in 2-5 days. Mendoza indicated Wednesday that Lindor must complete a full slate of baseball activities before returning, which he hasn't yet done.

Lindor originally tweaked his back last Friday night in a win over the Phillies, then sat out Saturday's game and was forced out of Sunday's 2-1 loss to Philadelphia after just one inning. He hasn't played since, with Jose Iglesias and Luisangel Acuña splitting shortstop duties in his absence.

Trainer's Room:

Mets SS Francisco Lindor (sore back) has missed five straight games and played only one inning in the past seven. He received a numbing injection for the facet joints on each side of the spine. “Trying to do whatever it takes to come back as soon as I can. Without it,” Lindor said, “it didn’t feel like I could get back sooner rather than later.” The star shortstop ran, played catch and took a couple rounds of batting practice from the right side. Before the game, Mendoza said if Lindor felt good enough to get through baseball activities, it's possible he could return to the lineup Saturday.
RHP Kodai Senga (strained left calf) will throw no more than two innings and 30-35 pitches in a rehab outing Saturday for Triple-A Syracuse. If all goes well, he could come off the 60-day injured list and be available to pitch in some role Friday at Milwaukee. “Ultimately we'll have to make a judgment call on what's best for the team,” president of baseball operations David Stearns said.
C Francisco Alvarez and OF Tyrone Taylor were rested.


On Deck:

Mets LHP Sean Manaea (11-5, 3.26 ERA) faces lefty Ranger Suárez (12-7, 3.13 ERA) at 4:10 p.m. ET in the penultimate regular season game at Citi Field.

Lindor was on deck when the game ended, and Mendoza said the switch-hitter “could be in play for (Wednesday).” Lindor had a bone scan Monday that revealed no structural damage to his back.

Atlanta’s starter will be LHP Chris Sale (18-3, 2.38 ERA). SNY will air the game at 7:20 p.m.

The next two games however are up in the air given the impending weather involved with Hurricane John approaching the area.

*And there are talks with the MLB offices monitoring the situation to move the Wednesday game back a few hours earlier in hopes of avoiding a possible double header makeup on Monday after the end of the season...so the Mets will not have to fly back to Atlanta after their series in Milwaukee on Sunday.
