Summary
Luis Robert Jr. is finally heading back to action after a brutal April setback with a herniated disc, set to begin rehab with Triple-A Syracuse this Tuesday — and could return to the Mets as early as July. While his recovery path may be longer than Francisco Lindor’s, recent progress signals hope. Back in the lineup, Robert faces stiff competition from Juan Soto, A.J. Ewing, and Carson Benge, especially with Ewing’s struggles against lefties opening a potential spot. Before his injury, Robert was hitting two homers with a .224 average and .656 OPS — but his career has been plagued by recurring injuries, including hip, knee, and hamstring issues. Fans will be watching closely to see if he can reclaim his form and contribute again for the Mets. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
