The emergence of Luisangel Acuña has helped the Mets survive the loss of Lindor, at least for a few games. Acuña was back at shortstop Wednesday against the Nationals a day after his breakout performance in Tuesday’s win, when he had three hits — including his first MLB home run — and his first RBI.

While a Tuesday return isn't guaranteed, the fact that Lindor was cleared to resume full baseball activities this weekend is an encouraging development. In the meantime, Luisangel Acuna should continue to start at shortstop in Lindor's stead through Sunday.
