In 2020, it was disclosed that Lindor’s sister is also a cancer survivor. In an interview, Legna, Lindor’s sister, spoke and revealed that Lindor is more like a son to her than like a brother, reports ESPN.

“I treat him like a son, more than like a brother. So I have been watching over him."

Francisco said that Legna has always been his role model.

“She always made sure we were doing things the right way. It's the way she is, and I just respect her a lot for that. ... She's always been the strongest one. She's always been the role model."

Early in the 2016 season, Legna was diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer. After getting better, Legna received permission from her physicians to surprise her brother at the All-Star Game in San Diego, where he represented the American League.
