Francisco Lindor sparked the Mets during a tough week, going 5-for-7 with a homer, two walks, four runs and a stolen base across a pair of back-to-back losses to Atlanta. His 409-foot shot to right-center on Thursday underscored a growing feel for the barrel as New York chased consistency at the plate.

Despite an uneven season since breaking his right pinky toe, Lindor has hit .283 with an .878 OPS in August, his best month in months. Coaches Chavez, Barnes and Fernandez have kept him in the cage and urging adjustments—pull-side power, contact the other way and better plate awareness—signaling a mid-season revival that fantasy managers will want to monitor as he carries momentum into the Mets’ next series.

With Seattle looming in Queens, Lindor’s surge is timely. Brandon Nimmo contributed in the same series, driving in runs and providing baserunning spark as the Mets look to climb back into contention. The Braves took the set, but Lindor’s hot stretch offers a glimmer for a lineup that badly needs his star power to stabilize a fluctuating offense.
