On a busy day of roster moves, manager Carlos Mendoza, who announced Kodai Senga would come off the IL to start on Tuesday, provided injury updates on several Mets players ahead of Monday's series opener against the Cincinnati Reds...
Lindor, who has been out since April 22 with a calf strain, played in another simulated game on Monday, Mendoza said.
"I haven't had the latest report because it was this afternoon," the manager admitted, but added, "he was scheduled to go three innings."
"Pretty much getting at-bats, playing defense, running the bases," Mendoza said. "I think he'll get the whole week of doing that, and then we'll revisit after that."
As far as Lindor needing a rehab assignment, Mendoza said the Mets "haven't discussed that" as of right now.
The All-Star shortstop took at-bats against pitchers from High-A Brooklyn and played two innings in the field during a simulated game Friday.
In 24 games this year before the injury, Lindor got off to a slow start with 21 hits in 93 at-bats (.226) and posted a .669 OPS (88 OPS+, 93 wRC+).
Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Friday that he expects Lindor to get back into big-league games this month.
The centerfielder is currently doing "baseball activities," Menodza said.
"He's running, hitting – I think he got up to like 90 percent sprinting-wise," he continued. "He's progressing."
Taylor was placed on the injured list in late May with a right hip flexor strain. He posted a .186 average (18-for-97) with a .530 OPS (47 OPS+, 45 wRC+) across 43 games before the injury.
Much like Taylor, the infielder is "feeling a lot better" as he continues to progress.
"Doing a lot of baseball activity, hopefully he's playing – I want to say at [Port St. Luice] towards the end of this week if everything goes well, he's gonna start playing rehab games for us," Mendoza said.
Mauricio, who landed on the IL with a right thumb fracture in early May and was expected to miss six to eight weeks, appeared in 10 games with the Mets and posted a .531 OPS in 32 at-bats. In 15 games at Triple-A, the 25-year-old posted a .293 average and a .987 OPS with six home runs and 13 RBI.
Jorge Polanco day-to-day, despite IL move
Polanco was transferred to the 60-day IL in a flurry of roster moves on Monday that saw right-handerChristian Scott land on the 10-day IL with right hip impingement, Tobias Myers and Jonathan Pintaro called up, righty reliever Daniel Duarte optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, and infielder Zack Short claimed off waivers.
However, Mendoza said there was "nothing new" to report about Polanco on the injury front.
"I heard he had a good day today, as far as like swinging the bat and all that," the manager said. "This is a day-to-day type deal."
The manager said it is "still on the table" that Polanco could return for a rehab assignment this week, but "we'll see."
The move for Polanco to the 60-day IL, as he hasn't played since April 14, makes this more of a paper move than anything else.
Polanco made 14 appearances with the Mets this season, with 10 hits in 56 at-bats (.179) and a .532 OPS.
