Tuesday afternoon marked a trademark “good news, bad news” situation for the New York Mets.

Let’s start with the good news. All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor returned to the starting lineup after missing Monday’s victory over the Miami Marlins for personal reasons. Lindor and his wife, Katia, welcomed their son, Koa, to the world on Sunday.

The bad news? Veteran starting pitcher Sean Manaea won’t rejoin Lindor on the field anytime soon.

Manaea, who posted a 3.47 ERA and a 3.0 bWAR over 32 starts last season, suffered a setback while recovering from a right oblique injury. The 33-year-old missed all of spring training and started this year on the 15-day injured list.

“He’s gonna go two weeks of no throwing, and then we’ve got to start building him back up again,” manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters.

“We have to revisit and see where we’re at after that,” Mendoza added, according to the Mets’ official website.

The Mets hoped for a late April or early May return when Manaea hurt himself. However, the setback raises questions about him even pitching in an MLB game before June 1.

Manaea inked a three-year, $75 million extension over the offseason. A 2013 first-round pick of the Kansas City Royals, Manaea is 77-62 with a 4.00 ERA in 228 games (198 starts) over nine seasons.

Manaea isn’t the only Mets starter on the shelf indefinitely. Ex-Athletics standout Frankie Montas, who signed a two-year, $34 million deal in December, remains out with a lat injury.

Montas is expected to begin throwing again later this month. The Mets have not provided a recent update on his expected return.
