Mets Eye Flexibility as Baty, Robert, Alvarez, Polanco Get Spring Rehab Plan

Spring camp notes have the Mets planning around a flexible lineup: Brett Baty is being eased back from a hamstring issue but should be ready for Opening Day, while Lindor’s hamate surgery could shift infield roles; Semien (second) and Bichette (third) may shape Baty’s positions, potentially including right field. Lindor’s status remains hopeful. Outfielders Luis Robert Jr., Francisco Alvarez and Jorge Polanco will be slow-played to manage health; Robert’s $20M salary includes a 2027 club option, Polanco signed a two-year, $40M deal with knee history and a move toward first base, and Alvarez has thumb/hamate injuries requiring pitcher work. Mets balance load management with enough reps before the season.
