Jeff McNeil didn’t join the power brigade against Gerrit Cole and the Yankees on Tuesday, but he did come alive a bit at the plate in a 9-7 win.
Jeff McNeil didn’t exactly join the power brigade against Gerrit Cole and the Yankees on Tuesday, but he did at least come alive a bit at the plate
Still, McNeil has been one of the few Mets hitters who has not seen an improvement in production this month.He had sat four straight games, all versus lefties, before he returned to the lineup against a right-hander in that two-hit game versus Philadelphia in London. Mendoza said McNeil could be in the mix to fill in for the injured Starling Marte in right field, with Marte expected to be out at least a month with a deep bone bruise in his right knee.Complicating things for McNeil has been the emergence of Jose Iglesias, who wasn’t in Tuesday’s lineup.
Entering Tuesday, only Toronto’s George Springer had a lower OPS among qualified hitters than McNeil’s .572.
