Amateur career


Lindgren attended Saint Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB) selected Lindgren in the 12th round of the 2011 MLB draft, but he opted not to sign with the Cubs. Lindgren enrolled at Mississippi State University, where he played college baseball for the Mississippi State Bulldogs baseball team.[1][2][3] As a sophomore, Lindgren pitched for the Bulldogs in the 2013 College World Series, which Mississippi State lost to the UCLA Bruins. In 2013, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Bourne Braves.[4]

Lindgren became a relief pitcher in 2014, his junior year.[5] In 2014, he was named a finalist for the C Spire Ferriss Trophy, given to the best college baseball player in Mississippi.[6][7] He finished his college career with a 12–6 win–loss record, 2.64 earned run average (ERA) (including 0.81 in his Junior 2014 season, his first as a reliever), 189 strikeouts, and 50 walks in 54 games (16 starts) and 139+2⁄3 innings pitched.[8]


Professional career



New York Yankees


The New York Yankees selected Lindgren in the second round, with the 55th overall selection, of the 2014 MLB draft.[9] On June 14, 2014, he signed with the Yankees for a $1.1 million signing bonus.[10] He played in five games for the Gulf Coast Yankees and Charleston RiverDogs of the Class A South Atlantic League before being promoted to the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League in July.[11] He was promoted to the Trenton Thunder of the Double-A Eastern League in August.[12] Over the whole season, he pitched in 19 games with a 2–1 record, 2.16 ERA, a save, and 48 strikeouts compared to just 13 walks in 24+2⁄3 innings pitched.[9]

Lindgren began the 2015 season with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders of the Triple-A International League. He pitched to a 1–1 record with a 1.23 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 22 innings, before the Yankees promoted Lindgren to the major leagues on May 24.[13] He was sent down to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on June 13.[14] On June 21, the Yankees announced that Lindgren would have surgery to remove a bone spur from his left elbow.[15] In 7 games with the Yankees, he finished with a 5.14 ERA.

Lindgren struggled during spring training in 2016, and began the season with the Class-A Advanced Tampa Yankees.[16] He spent most of the season on the disabled list due to elbow injuries. He underwent Tommy John surgery in August, which forced him out for the rest of the season.[17] The Yankees non-tendered Lindgren after the season, making him a free agent.[18]


Atlanta Braves


On December 4, 2016, Lindgren signed one-year contract with the Atlanta Braves, worth roughly $1 million. He missed the entire 2017 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.[19] He underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career on March 29, 2018 and missed a second full season.[20] He elected free agency on November 3, 2018.


Chicago White Sox


On January 5, 2019, Lindgren signed a minor league deal with the Chicago White Sox.[21] He split the year between the rookie ball AZL White Sox, the Single-A Kannapolis Intimidators, and the High-A Winston-Salem Dash, posting a 2.83 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 28.2 innings of work.

Lindgren did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] He resigned on a minor league deal on November 2, 2020. Lindgren recorded a 10.13 ERA across 8 appearances for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights before being released on June 4, 2021.[23]
