Francisco Lindor said an MRI of his ailing back on Monday did not detect any structural damage and he hopes to return to the New York Mets lineup this week. “I’m great, I’m great,” the shortstop said before Monday’s series opener against Washington.

NEW YORK — Mets shorstop Francisco Lindor showed no signs of discomfort when he walked into the Mets clubhouse on Thursday. The best-dressed person in the room by a mile — no surprise there — he wore the same smile he has on every day and greeted his teammates on the way to his locker.

The good news is that Lindor's MRI on Monday revealed no structural damage, which has him listed as day-to-day. But at this point, there is still no timetable for when he might be back in the Mets' starting lineup.
