Overall, Lindor will finish an injury-shortened campaign with a .225/.309/.423 slash line, 63 runs scored, 49 RBI and three steals across 469 plate appearances.

Mets' Francisco Lindor: Explodes for two homers, six RBI
Rotowire
Lindor went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a triple, a walk and six total RBI in a 14-3 win against Atlanta on Monday.

The game was tied 3-3 through five frames, and Lindor added a two-run blast in the eighth inning to cap an 11-run explosion against Atlanta reliever Connor Thomas. Lindor has a trio of three-hit games over 10 contests since the All-Star break, so he may be coming around after a slow start to the campaign. He's still at only eight home runs through 50 contests, so he'd have to finish the season on an absolutely torrid heater to reach 30 long balls for a fourth straight year.
