DENVER — Francisco Lindor participated in pregame drills Friday, but the discomfort in his right foot was enough to keep him removed from the Mets’ starting lineup for a second straight game.

The shortstop was diagnosed with a broken right pinky toe after he was hit by a pitch leading off Wednesday against the Dodgers.

“I feel a little bit better today about it than I did [Thursday],” manager Carlos Mendoza said before the Mets faced the Rockies at Coors Field. “I thought maybe he would miss the full [Colorado] series, but watching him today and talking to him, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in there [Saturday] or the next day.”

Ronny Mauricio started at shortstop.

Mauricio’s previous two starts since his recall to the Mets were at third base.

“We just wanted to get a switch-hitter in there, and this is kind of his natural position,” Mendoza said.

Sean Manaea threw 36 pitches over 1 ²/₃ innings in his first minor league rehab start, for Single-A Brooklyn.

The left-hander allowed four runs, one unearned, on four hits with two strikeouts.

It was the left-hander’s first appearance in a game this season.

He has been rehabbing an oblique strain since early in spring training.

Brandon Nimmo, a Wyoming native who grew up attending games at Coors Field, entered play with a .365/.429/.525 slash line in 19 games in this ballpark.
