WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joan Adon departed Friday night’s 8-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics with cramping in both legs.The 24-year-old right-hander experienced discomfort while warming up before the fourth inning.

Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor scratched with soreness on his right side, ending streak

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:36:27 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was scratched from the lineup because of soreness on his right side about 30 minutes before the first pitch Friday night against Atlanta, ending his streak of consecutive games played at 223.Lindor said he “felt something” while stretching before batting practice. He continued his early work and then visited the trainer’s room, where New York’s medical staff decided he should sit out the game. He will undergo testing Saturday. “We have one of the best training staffs in the league, so whatever you guys think is best,” Lindor said. “I want to play, but I’ve been through a situation where I tried to play through it and didn’t work out in my favor.”Lindor missed five weeks in 2021 with a right oblique strain.“Doesn’t even compare,” he said. “That one felt bad. I could barely take off my shirt.”Lindor has been one of the few bright spots this season for the retooled Mets, who are 52-63 after dealing away six veterans at the trade dea...
