New York Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor shares his wife's message that led to him rejoining the team against the Miami Marlins.

Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor will not start Monday's game following the birth of his son, but he may be available off the bench.

Francisco Lindor isn't with the New York Mets on Monday, but for good reason. Lindor and his wife, Katia, have just had their third child. A boy, Koa Amani Lindor, recently entered the world. Koa is the younger brother of sisters Kalin Zoe and Amapola Chloe.

The Houston Astros' lineup is built for situations like Friday’s sixth inning. They entered it trailing the New York Mets by two. A third-strike wild pitch allowed Jake Meyers to reach first base and turned the lineup over.

Mets vs. Marlins will air locally on SNY and nationally on MLB.TV, and can be streamed on fuboTV (free trial). Time: 6:40 p.m. ET
