"Happy Mother’s Day 🦋 Feliz Día de las Madres. For the women who have lost their mothers, for those struggling to become one, for those who always wanted to be a mom but couldn’t, and for those who have lost a child they loved so dearly: my heart is with you today and everyday." - Katia Lindor

Francisco Lindor got a welcome day off after her little girl's birth

The Mets' starting lineup for a recent game against the St. Louis Cardinals omitted Francisco Lindor. The Puerto Rican was eager to join the squad, but manager Buck Showalter refused, according to MLB reporter Mike Puma.

"Francisco Lindor’s wife had a baby early this morning - the couple’s second daughter. Lindor wanted to play today, but Buck Showalter said no." - Mike Puma

After the dedication Lindor has shown to the team, the Mets All-Star was entitled to a day off. He participated in 161 games during the regular season in 2022, missing just one. That excludes the three postseason contests he participated in against the San Diego Padres.
