Bo Bichette remains with the Mets, with shortstop duties currently up to him as a potential emergency option behind Francisco Lindor, per recent reporting. The team has been using Bichette at shortstop briefly in some lineups as injuries and roster moves dictate, but he is primarily listed as a third baseman in Mets plans for the season. For the latest, note that several outlets in May 2026 discussed Bichette filling in at shortstop as needed, while the Mets continued to evaluate backup options at the position.
