Francisco Lindor set to hit IL as Mets prepare to call up Ronny Mauricio

info

“The Post’s Mike Puma reported that Lindor, scheduled to receive an MRI on his left calf Thursday after leaving Wednesday’s win that snapped a 12-game losing streak, was likely headed to the IL and Ronny Mauricio was on his way to Queens to potentially be activated for the game at Citi Field.”

SINGLE SOURCE

The provided evidence for this claim consists only of general Wikipedia articles about 'Mike' and the 2021 Nationals season, which do not mention Mike Puma, Lindor's MRI, or Ronny Mauricio's status. The claim appears to be based on information not present in the gathered evidence. Therefore, corroboration for the specific details of the claim cannot be established.

“He managed to score on the play, but was clearly in discomfort and was removed before the top of the fifth, with Bo Bichette moving from third base to shortstop and Brett Baty inserted at third.”
