Head coach Leo Cullen revealed that the Ireland star picked up a calf injury in training this week and he joins Tadhg Furlong, Garry Ringrose and Josh van der Flier in missing out.
It's not necessarily going to be one inning [at a time]; it's going to be two to three innings, depending on the pitch count. But the thought there is to get him comfortable with that role.
Lindgren has played a variety of roles since joining the Capitals organization in 2022: he was the team's backup in 2022-23 before a strong performance in 2023-24 saw him promoted to starter.
