Mets Shortstop Exits Game After Just 2 Innings Due to Illness

In a concerning development for the New York Mets, their star shortstop Francisco Lindor was forced to exit Wednesday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs after just two innings due to flu-like symptoms. Lindor, who has been a picture of durability over the past two seasons, appeared visibly under the weather during his lone at-bat in the bottom of the first inning. The 29-year-old popped out routinely to the second baseman, and then took his place in the field for the top of the second.
