Mets’ Francisco Lindor Faces Unexpected Injury: Fractured Pinky Toe Sparks Questions About His Playing Future
After going 0-for-4 in the game, Lindor told reporters that he was feeling “a lot” of pain but could still play. Only after taking off his sock did he see how badly his foot was bruised, according to MLB.com. X-rays taken confirmed the broken toe.
The Mets lost Thursday’s game, 6-5, after giving up three runs in the eighth. An error at third base by Brett Baty allowed the Dodgers to score the tying run before Michael Conforto drove in the go-ahead run.

Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts also didn’t go on the injured list after he fractured the fourth toe on his left foot, albeit in a home mishap. However, he did miss four games before returning to the lineup. Betts said playing was mostly a pain management issue, seemingly confirming what Mendoza and Lindor said.
