Faces live pitching Lindor (oblique) hit against live pitching Tuesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Manager Luis Rojas said over the weekend that Lindor could return during the Mets' upcoming homestand, which begins Aug. 24, and facing live pitching is a good step toward making that a reality. The 27-year-old has been sidelined for a month by a strained oblique, but Rojas also indicated the shortstop may not require a rehab assignment before being activated.

AUGUST 15, 2021 • NEWSDAY.COM
Could return next week Mets manager Luis Rojas said that Lindor (oblique) could be activated from the 10-day injured list when the team returns from its upcoming seven-game road trip that begins Monday,...
Impact Prior to Sunday's series finale with the Dodgers in Queens, Lindor appeared to complete a full workout that included batting practice and baserunning, per Toscano. Lindor will join the team for its road trip this week that includes a three-game set in San Francisco and a four-game set in Los Angeles, but he's not expected to be available for either of the team's series versus the Giants and Dodgers. For now, the 27-year-old appears likely to avoid a minor-league rehab assignment, as the Mets will presumably have him take part in simulated-game work during the road trip before reassessing his status for the homestand that begins Aug. 24. Once Lindor is reinstated from the IL, he'll take back everyday duties at shortstop and push one of J.D. Davis or Jonathan Villar into a bench role.

May skip rehab assignment Lindor (oblique) is hoping to skip a rehab assignment once he's cleared for game action, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact The Mets are reportedly open to the idea, though they've yet to fully decide on their plans. Lindor has been out for nearly a month with a right oblique strain, so skipping a rehab assignment would be somewhat unusual, but he's seemingly willing to take the risk with the Mets locked into a very tight playoff race.

Ramps up baseball activities Lindor (oblique) took batting practice on the field and participated in fielding drills Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Lindor has been taking grounders since the end of July, but he resumed swinging late last week and took another step by hitting on the field Wednesday. The Mets view this week as important in the shortstop's recovery process, and the team remains hopeful that he'll return from the injured list prior to the end of the month.
