Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor will not start Monday's game following the birth of his son, but he may be available off the bench.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor is a classic "blue chip" piece for the organization. After spending his first five seasons with the Cleveland Indians before they traded him to the Mets in January 2021, he signed a 10-year, $341 million contract with the latter club that March.

The New York Mets have reportedly traded Alexander Canario to the Pittsburgh Pirates after having to place the outfielder on waivers.

The 24-year-old outfielder was recently acquired by the Mets from the Chicago Cubs on February 25. During Spring Training, Canario went 11-for-36 at the plate for a .306 batting average, nine runs, two doubles, three home runs, and eight RBIs in 17 games with the Mets.

The Mets are trading Alexander Canario to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash considerations. The outfielder was left off the Opening Day roster and DFA'd.
