Jeff McNeil of the New York Mets will be sidelined for Opening Day after suffering a low-grade right oblique strain. Manager Carlos Mendoza announced that McNeil will be shut down from activities for 7-10 days, potentially missing 3-4 weeks. This injury marks another challenge in McNeil's recent career; after winning the batting title in 2022, his performance has declined. The Mets may need to rely on players like Luisangel Acuna or Brett Baty to fill the second base position in his absence.
This could be tricky. We just have to let it heal.
His batting average dropped 56 points to .270 in 2023, and last season was his worst yet as a pro.
