Mets return home to face NL-best Giants

The New York Mets are almost sure to get Francisco Lindor back during a homestand that begins Tuesday night. Only time will tell if Lindor returns in time to save a Mets season that's spiraled downward during his time on the injured list.

With or without Lindor, the Mets will look to continue climbing out of the hole they've dug Tuesday, when New York hosts the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a three-game series.
