Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor’s earliest return to New York’s lineup from a back injury likely is Tuesday night’s series opener at the Atlanta Braves.

Kodai Senga threw one scoreless inning while walking one and striking out two on 15 pitches with Triple-A Syracuse. The righty, who is recovering from a left calf strain, did not throw a second inning perhaps because the Syracuse offense scored eight runs in a lengthy bottom of the first.
