Impact He was available off the bench Saturday as well but was not used. With Dominic Smith, Andres Gimenez and Luis Guillorme all swinging hot bats, the Mets can afford to be a little patient with McNeil.

Sitting as expected Friday McNeil (knee) feels better but isn't in the lineup Friday against the Phillies, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 28-year-old was carted off the field Thursday and is considered day-to-day after being diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee, but he was never expected to be back in the lineup Friday. McNeil isn't expected to require a trip on the injury list with the X-ray and MRI results coming back clean, but he may not be available for the weekend series in Philadelphia.

Day-to-day with bone bruise McNeil (knee) is day-to-day with a bone bruise in his left knee, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact McNeil had to be carted off the field Thursday after colliding with the outfield wall, but it sounds like he avoided a potentially serious injury after his X-ray and MRI both came back clean. While the outfielder doesn't appear to be a candidate for the injured list, he'll likely miss at least a few games. According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the belief is that McNeil may be able to play in five days.

Carted off Thursday McNeil (undisclosed) was carted off the field Thursday against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact McNeil slammed into the outfield wall after he made a spectacular catch at the warning track to end the first inning. He initially tried to walk back to the dugout but was forced to call for the cart after a few steps. Billy Hamilton entered the game in place of McNeil, whose status should be updated after he's further evaluated in the coming days.

AUGUST 12, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Three hits in loss McNeil went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 16-4 loss to the Nationals.
Impact Little went right for the Mets in this one, but McNeil at least had a productive night. After seeing most of his action at third base to begin the season, the 28-year-old has started four straight games in left field while swapping places defensively with J.D. Davis, perhaps in an effort to avoid the back issues that cost McNeil three games earlier this month. Wherever he plays, he just keeps hitting -- McNeil is slashing .327/.397/.408 on the year, although he's still looking for his first homer.

Returns to lineup McNeil (back) will bat second and play left field Friday against the Marlins.
Impact McNeil was scratched Monday with lower-back tightness and later diagnosed with an intercostal strain. He's good to go now after a three-game absence and will look to build upon a strong start to the season that saw him hit .343 through his first 10 games.
