Mets star expected to be ready for training camp after surgery

Francisco Lindor’s offseason has included surgery for the third time in four years, but he likely won’t miss time because of it.

The Mets shortstop recently had debridement surgery for a clean up on his right elbow, according to the club.

He is expected to be ready for the start of spring training.

Lindor underwent offseason surgery two years ago to remove a bone spur from his right elbow.

The offseason before that he underwent an appendectomy.

On Wednesday, he was named a National League finalist at shortstop for a silver slugger award.

He joined teammates Pete Alonso (first base) and Juan Soto (outfield) as silver slugger finalists.

Lindor has twice won a silver slugger award with the Mets.
