Linder (back) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. He will start at shortstop and bat leadoff.
The 30-year-old sat out Saturday's contest after leaving Friday's game due to lower-back soreness, but he hit in the batting cage Sunday and has been cleared to rejoin the lineup. Lindor has a .912 OPS with three home runs and two steals through 11 games in September as he and Shohei Ohtani continue to push each other in the race for National League MVP.
