ICYMI in Mets Land: Luisangel Acuña's Multi-Hit Debut; Updates on Francisco Lindor, Starling Marte
Luisangel Acuña Makes His Mark
Luisangel Acuña, the younger brother of Ronald Acuña Jr., made a strong impression in his Mets debut on Thursday, going 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. The 20-year-old outfielder showed off his speed and athleticism, making a diving catch in center field and stealing a base.
Acuña's performance was a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster day for the Mets, who lost 6-3 to the Marlins. However, his debut is a reminder of the team's depth and potential.
Francisco Lindor's Injury Update
Francisco Lindor is expected to miss at least six weeks with a strained oblique, according to reports. The Mets' shortstop suffered the injury while making a diving stop in the second inning of Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Lindor's absence is a big blow to the Mets, who are already without Starling Marte due to a hamstring injury. The team will likely turn to Luis Guillorme or Eduardo Escobar to fill in at shortstop.
Starling Marte's Return
Starling Marte is expected to return to the Mets' lineup on Friday after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury. The outfielder has been one of the Mets' most consistent hitters this season, batting .310 with five home runs and 19 RBIs.
Marte's return will give the Mets a much-needed boost, as they look to stay in contention in the NL East. The Mets are currently 29-32, 6.5 games behind the first-place Braves.
