The 2022 version of Francisco Lindor seemed to be the one the Mets were hoping they initially acquired.
The veteran shortstop was hot, peaking at a .313 average with four home runs and a dozen RBIs as the Mets started off 12-5.

But over the last few days as the Mets have kept winning games and series to stay atop the National League East, the infielder has slowly emerged from a funk.
