Lindor also hit leadoff for the Mets last season. It remains unclear where Juan Soto and Pete Alonso will hit in the lineup.

Francisco Lindor (back) is leading off and playing shortstop Friday vs the Brewers.

Lindor will return to the lineup for the first time since September 15th. He looked set to return on Wednesday before the game was postponed, so hopefully the few extra days of rest did the star shortstop some good. Given the Mets' chase for a playoff spot, they will do everything they can to have Lindor in the lineup as much as possible going forward.

Francisco Lindor underwent a bone scan that revealed he is not dealing with any structural damage.

Lindor has a chance to be back in the lineup on Wednesday. He remains day-to-day.
