What initially started as a day off for Francisco Lindor ended with him as the hero for the New York Mets. On Wednesday, Lindor sustained a fractured pinky toe when getting hit in his right foot by Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tony Gonsolin.

New York Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor told reporters on Thursday that he broke his right pinky toe after getting hit by a Tony Gonsolin slider during Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Lindor immediately bargained to be in the lineup on the team bus back to the hotel on Wednesday night, but the team will play it cautiously with their shortstop in the early going.
