The New York Mets face pressure after consecutive losses, needing a win to secure a postseason chance. Manager Carlos Mendoza is adjusting the lineup following a tough defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Francisco Lindor, still recovering from back soreness, will serve as the designated hitter, marking his first time in this role since 2022. Luisangel Acuña, who has impressed since his debut, will take over at shortstop.
With J.D. Martinez struggling, the Mets are counting on this revamped lineup to break their slump and compete for a Wild Card spot alongside the Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks.
