Lindor (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The 30-year-old said Monday that he could return to the lineup within the next 2-to-5 days, so it's not a surprise he remains out of the starting nine for Tuesday's contest. Lindor should be back in action for the Mets later this week, assuming he can avoid a setback with the nagging back injury. Rookie Luisangel Acuna is starting at shortstop Tuesday for New York.
