New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza is preparing for the return of Francisco Lindor to the team. This development comes as another player, Juan Soto, is dealing with a back injury. Soto's injury forced him to exit a recent game against the Chicago Cubs after the fourth inning.

The extent of his injury is still being assessed, with a possible trip to the injured list a consideration. Further details about Soto's status and the team's plans are available from the source, including information about other roster adjustments such as a player shifting to the bullpen.
