AI द्वारा रिपोर्ट किया गया AI द्वारा उत्पन्न छवि
Team Puerto Rico is contemplating pulling out of the 2026 World Baseball Classic after insurance providers denied coverage to eight to ten key players, including captain Francisco Lindor. The issue stems from stricter underwriting following injuries in the 2023 tournament, complicating roster assembly just days before deadlines. Officials worry about fielding a competitive team, especially as hosts of pool play in San Juan.
Francisco Lindor made his spring training debut for the New York Mets on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays, following hamate bone surgery on his left wrist. He played four innings in the field, went 1-for-3 at the plate, and helped secure an 8-1 rain-shortened win at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Lindor reported feeling mostly like himself despite some unusual sensations.
