Francisco Lindor’s Mets lineup spot safe — for now
NY Post
The decimation of the Mets lineup has kept Luis Rojas from facing a potentially unsettling decision.
Francisco Lindor has been a significant disappointment through the first 41 games of his Mets career, but when the other option is moving up a fringe player to hit in the No. 2 hole in the lineup, with his star shortstop hitting much lower, the manager gets an easy escape. Such is life with names such as Brandon Nimmo, Michael Conforto, Jeff McNeil, Pete Alonso and J.D. Davis on the injured list. Tuesday’s starting lineup included Brandon Drury, Cameron Maybin and Jose Peraza.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
