Francisco Lindor set to return as injuries impact several MLB players

Francisco Lindor is expected to return to the New York Mets this week after a two-month absence due to a left calf strain. Bobby Witt Jr. is managing a Grade 1 MCL sprain and has not been placed on the injured list as the Kansas City Royals hope for a quick recovery. Jeremy Peña left Monday's game with a hamstring issue, prompting a wait for further updates. Other notable injuries include Corey Seager, who is day-to-day after being placed on the 7-day concussion injured list, and Jack Leiter, who has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right ankle impingement. Various players are working through rehab assignments and updates are pending.
