Out again Sunday McNeil (leg) is not starting Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Left leg fatigue caused McNeil's exclusion from Friday's lineup and is apparently still bothering the 29-year-old. He's hitting .316 with five RBI and four walks in his last 10 games. Luis Guillorme will start at second base Saturday, with Jonathan Villar playing shortstop.

Dealing with leg fatigue McNeil is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto due to left leg fatigue, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact McNeil exited Wednesday's game with the issue and still isn't ready to play following Thursday's off day. He hurt the same leg back in May, so it makes sense that the Mets would want to be cautious. Luis Guillorme starts at second base in his absence.

Exits with apparent injury McNeil exited Wednesday's game against the Reds with an apparent injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact The nature of McNeil's injury isn't yet clear, but he appeared to experience some discomfort in the top of the eighth inning and was able to walk off the field under his own power afterward. The 29-year-old went 1-for-4 with a run and a walk prior to his departure, and whether he'll be able to return for Friday's series opener against the Blue Jays remains to be seen.

Swats fourth homer McNeil went 2-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 15-11 extra-innings win over the Reds.
Impact He launched a solo shot off Vladimir Gutierrez in the first inning, going back-to-back with Pete Alonso to give the Mets an early 3-0 lead in the wild affair. McNeil has hit safely in eight straight games, and is slashing .280/.359/.329 over 92 plate appearances since returning from the IL in late June, but Monday's homer was his first in that time and only his fourth of the season as his 2019 power output increasingly looks like a product of that year's rabbit ball.

On bench for Game 1 McNeil is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

McNeil has failed to recorded an extra-base hit this month, though, and he has driven home just a pair of runs. He'll likely return to the lineup for the nightcap after Jose Peraza plays second base in Game 1.
