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.
The New York Mets placed shortstop Francisco Lindor on the 10-day injured list Thursday, one day after he strained his left calf during their 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins that snapped a 12-game losing streak. The team recalled Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse to fill the roster spot.
