Juan Soto\u2019s numbers were up across the board in June, but Francisco Lindor\u2019s stats went in a different direction.<\/p>\n

The Mets leadoff man posted a slash line of .204\/.259\/.369 with four homers and 14 runs scored in 103 at-bats.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like when he\u2019s on, he\u2019s aggressive, and he\u2019s using the whole field \u2026 and not chasing as much,\u201d Carlos Mendoza said before Tuesday\u2019s rainout against the Brewers<\/a>. \u201cYou see how his swing decisions continue to get better when he\u2019s clicking. So I feel like there\u2019s been a few games where I feel like he\u2019s getting there, but then there\u2019s a couple where he goes back to chasing a little bit too much or missing good pitches to hit, especially early in counts.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think he\u2019s in one of those stretches where other players go through it, and if someone knows how to get through it and come out the other side, it\u2019s Francisco.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soto produced a slash line of .322\/.474\/.722 in June with 11 homers following a slow start to the season.<\/p>\n

Sean Manaea <\/strong>had the scheduled resumption of his minor league rehab assignment also washed out by rain.<\/p>\n

Manaea was supposed to be back on the mound Tuesday night for Double-A Binghamton following last week\u2019s scare that caused him to be shut down briefly with loose bodies in his pitching elbow.<\/p>\n

The left-hander, who has been on the injured list all season due to an oblique issue, was supposed to pitch for the Rumble Ponies against Hartford. <\/p>\n

The Mets said Manaea now will pitch for one of their minor league affiliates on Wednesday, but they did not specify which one.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s get through today first. With Manaea, we just gotta wait \u2026 and see how he responds afterwards,\u201d Mendoza said before the rainouts were announced. \u201cI think he\u2019s [scheduled to throw] 45-50 [pitches] today and we\u2019ll continue to take it one day at a time, one outing at a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see how he bounces back from this one, but the fact that he\u2019s in a real game, that\u2019s a good sign, and we\u2019ll go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kodai Senga <\/strong>(hamstring) faced hitters Sunday in a live BP session and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, in addition to fielding practice. <\/p>\n

Mendoza said \u201cit\u2019s possible\u201d that Senga could then progress to a rehab assignment, but \u201cwe\u2019ll see how he responds to the bullpen tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tylor Megill (elbow) has another MRI exam upcoming, and according to Mendoza, \u201che\u2019s definitely feeling better, but not throwing yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outfielder Jesse Winker <\/strong>(oblique) also was scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Binghamton. He is expected to play two games at Double-A, Mendoza said, before moving to Triple-A Syracuse this weekend after an off-day Thursday.<\/p>\n

Clay Holmes <\/strong>is scheduled to pitch the opener on Wednesday at 1:10 p.m., and the Mets listed the nightcap (7:10 p.m.) as TBD instead of originally scheduled starter Blade Tidwell. <\/p>\n

Freddy Peralta <\/strong>and Jacob Misiorowski are pitching for the Brewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Juan Soto\u2019s numbers were up across the board in June, but Francisco Lindor\u2019s stats went in a different…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":32948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[27639,20404,3689,27640,3693,27641,1266,1305,26096,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-32947","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-carlos-mendoza","9":"tag-clay-holmes","10":"tag-francisco-lindor","11":"tag-jesse-winker","12":"tag-juan-soto","13":"tag-kodai-senga","14":"tag-mlb","15":"tag-new-york-mets","16":"tag-sean-manaea","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114784430091124556","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
