Goes yard twice in loss McNeil went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

McNeil appears to have turned things around at the plate, and over his last 20 games he's slashing .271/.302/.525 with four of his seven homers on the season and 12 of his 27 RBI.

Pops fifth homer McNeil went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Pirates.

Impact His third-inning shot off Paul Skenes opened the scoring on the night, but it proved to be a drop in the bucket as the Mets got routed 14-2. McNeil is quietly showing flickers of life at the plate -- two of his five homers on the season have come in the last eight games, and he's batting .250 (8-for-32) over that stretch. Even with that modest uptick in production, McNeil's .216 batting average and .585 OPS on the year are by far career worsts.

Impact Getting the start in left field and batting eighth, McNeil kept the line moving and was driven home twice by leadoff hitter Brandon Nimmo. McNeil has reached base in five straight games, a modest achievement but a good sign for the 32-year-old after his disappointing 2023.

Belts homer in win McNeil went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Mets' victory over the Reds on Friday.

Impact McNeil's homer in the eighth inning off Emilio Pagan extended New York's lead to 3-1, and it would end up being the difference in the game as the Mets would win 3-2. The 2022 NL batting champion is still slashing just .105/.190/.263 through his first 21 plate appearances and will need to start stringing more hits together before he becomes a reliable fantasy asset again.
