It may not have been on the level of Willis Reed's comeback for New York sports fans, but Francisco Lindor certainly shone for the New York Mets amid an injury on Friday night.

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.
