Podcast: Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets
Published On: Thu Apr 23 2026
Description: New York Mets lose Francisco Lindor to injury just as Juan Soto returns—can the lineup survive another major setback?   Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the impact of Lindor’s calf strain, what it means for the Mets’ infield shuffle, and why Bo Bichette could move to shortstop while hot-hitting Ronnie Mauricio gets his big shot. Key topics include lineup changes with Lindor out, Brett Baty’s evolving role, and the importance of Francisco Alvarez stepping into a leadership position.   Finkelstein analyzes looming questions about Christian Scott’s pitching debut, bullpen management, and the Mets’ slim margin for error in the NL East.   Can New York rally and turn a single win into the start of a much-needed streak? Don’t miss this deep dive into the Mets’ path forward without their All-Star shortstop.   Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
