Less than a week after the Mets’ season ended in October with a loss to the Padres in the NL wild-card series, Francisco Lindor experienced lower abdominal discomfort.
It was a familiar discomfort that had bothered Lindor occasionally, but the shortstop’s wife, Katia, had heard and seen enough: Lindor was going to the emergency room. Lindor underwent an appendectomy and was released from the hospital about 12 hours later. He was sent home for a short recovery. The timing of the procedure coincided with when the Mets would have potentially been playing in the NLDS had they advanced past the Padres.
“We checked [the appendix] and there was nothing, apparently,” Lindor said. “I just figured that it was something that was going to come on and off, and never say anything.” Now he’s glad he doesn’t have to continue dealing with it. There’s a strong chance Francisco Alvarez will open the season at Triple-A Syracuse, but manager Buck Showalter wants the rookie catcher to approach spring training with the idea he’s contending for a spot on the major league roster.
Omar Narvaez and Tomas Nido are ahead of Alvarez on the depth chart at catcher. Alvarez will receive opportunities behind the plate in the Grapefruit League and at DH, according to Showalter.
