The New York Mets placed shortstop Francisco Lindor on the 10-day injured list with a calf injury, the team announced.

Lindor was injured during the fourth inning of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins at Citi Field, when he rounded third base and slid into home safe on Francisco Alvarez's RBI double. He was removed from the game and did not return, as New York broke a 12-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory.

Lindor, who is batting .226 with two home runs and 5 RBI, was starting to heat up at the plate, with seven hits in his last 17 at-bats before Wednesday's game.

He was injured in the same game as Juan Soto returned from his own stint on the injured list with a right calf strain. Soto missed 15 games, and the Mets went 3-12 in his absence.

Taking Lindor's place on the roster is infielder Ronny Mauricio, who was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.
