The New York Mets continued their losing ways on Saturday evening with a home loss at the hands of the lowly Colorado Rockies . The Mets now sit at 9-17 on the 2026 MLB season, and to make matters worse, the team recently lost star shortstop Francisco Lindor to a calf injury.

Now, MLB insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today has reported on the latest development regarding Lindor's recovery timetable for a return to the lineup.
"The Mets have not provided a timetable for Francisco Lindor 's calf strain, but are privately expecting him to be out until weeks into June," reported Nightengale.
It's certainly not good news for a Mets team that is in need of all the help it can get amid a turbulent start to the season.
The good news for New York is that they recently got superstar Juan Soto back from his own injury, but that still wasn't enough to get past the Rockies on Saturday, dropping their record to 9-17 in the process.

Of course, it's still very early in the 2026 MLB season, and there is plenty of time for the Mets to get things together and go on a run. However, it's hard to imagine things having gotten off to a worse start than what's unfolded thus far this campaign, and the injury to Lindor figures to only add insult to injury, especially if he is indeed out for over another month, as Nightengale reported.
In any case, the Mets will wrap up their series with a double header against the Rockies on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. First pitch is set to take place at 1:40 pm ET.
