Jeff McNeil Removed On Cart After Collision

By Jeff Todd | August 13, 2020 at 3:54pm CDT

3:54pm: McNeil has been diagnosed a bone contusion, manager Luis Rojas told reporters after the game (Twitter link via The Athletic’s Tim Britton). He’s not expected to require a trip to the injured list. He’ll be evaluated again tomorrow before any final decisions are made, though.

2:45pm: Initial X-rays on McNeil’s knee have come back negative, MLB Network’s Jon Heyman tweets. However, McNeil will still undergo an MRI for further evaluation.

12:27pm: Mets utilityman extraordinaire Jeff McNeil was carted off of the field after suffering an apparent leg injury in today’s game. He crashed into the outfield wall after making a sensational running catch.

Needless to say, there’s no indication at this point of the seriousness of the injury. McNeil attempted to leave on his own power but ultimately required additional medical attention. Any lasting absence for McNeil, of course, would be a brutal blow to an already reeling Mets club. He hasn’t shown the pop that he displayed in 2019 or even in 2018, but McNeil entered play hitting .293/.358/.362 through his first 67 trips to the plate in 2020.

The Mets have already lost Noah Syndergaard for the season due to Tommy John surgery, while Marcus Stroman has opted out of the 2020 campaign citing health and safety concerns. Also on the injured list for the Mets are Robinson Cano, Jed Lowrie, Jake Marisnick, Eduardo Nunez, Rene Rivera and Michael Wacha.

          The Braves offense has been luckier… Mets have a better avg obp and slg ops. If you look at the teams… I’m not saying the Mets are better but if you look at the 10 best offensive players the Braves have the best two and 2-8 only has two Braves. (Albies) (Ozuna) and Ozuna is a huge maybe. The Mets lineup is way deeper. Btw if the Mets win today the Mets are 2 games behind the Braves.. stop acting like they are way ahead.

          Let’s see how NYM does vs. NYY for 6 games closing out the last 2 weeks of Aug. NYM has been outscored 43-23 in head-to-head games vs. ATL so far. And that was with a cold/injured Albies, cold Acuna, post-C19 Freeman. Dansby/Duvall/d’Arnaud (recently) have been the sparkplugs. Good luck keeping 3 Silver Sluggers down. Inciarte should be replaced by Pache soon, which will be a boost. #JustWaitforEdwin

          Acuna, Albies, Freeman, Ozuna, d’Arnaud are definitely better than the Mets crew at those positions. The SS position is a tie. Nimmo gets a slight edge on Inciarte but both are underwhelming. Pretty much any team’s 3rd baseman beats the Braves at this point. I’ll take Conforto over Duvall. Atlanta has the better lineup and bullpen. The Mets have the better starting pitching. Of course, that’s predicated on health which neither team has.

          Ramos is on the decline and d’Arnaud was also good last yr in Tampa. Nimmo is nothing special at all, just like Inciarte. Swanson and Rosario are pretty much a wash, wouldn’t call either better. You left out the actual DH, Ozuna, who is better than Smith.

          Yeah. I mean we can argue what we think, but stats tell us otherwise. I will say the Mets looked good against the Nats, but the Nats have looked bad all year. So it’s tough to tell. Mets play the Phillies next who also look awful. If they can win that series (which they should), then Mets fans should start feeling a little confident.

          I’ve said it multiple times, but in a 60 game season, you cannot sleep on the Marlins.

          Apparently defense doesn’t matter in your world. Ramos, Rosario, Alonso, Davis, and Nimmo are all horrible with the glove, while Cano, Conforto, and McNeil are certainly not defensive assets. Defensively, Atlanta is better at every position.

          The Mets are scoring less runs than the Braves and the Mets have a higher team BABIP. It might be that the Mets are getting lucky.

          Are you assuming the Mets stay 29th in RISP??? Bc that’s the only reason why the Braves have scored more. When it evens out the Mets will be so corny more runs than the Braves

          Just looking at the stats, buddy. The BABIP doesn’t lie. Besides, we talked about that. The reason why the Mets aren’t scoring more is because of key players like Alonso striking out as well as double plays. You keep pointing to luck but weak contact and strikeouts doesn’t drive anyone home.

          The Mets will not be 29th in RISP by the time the season ends so our runs per game will go up and be higher than the Braves. That’s what happens when you have a better lineup

      Actually was pretty good. Caught it 1/2 step to the wall and made contact with his glove hand extended into the wall almost immediately after the ball got into his glove. Amazing that the ball did not get knocked out. Physics says the ball should have bounced free.

I know the type of hit is apples to oranges but until he gets checked out, we don’t know if he is injured or has a concussion. Could be day to day or could be out weeks, No way to know right now.

          Hope so. I remember a wall collision with Giants’ Jarrett Parker that occurred just as he was getting ready to break out. Instead of breaking out, he broke his collarbone, and that was it for his career. Players are made of flesh and bone, and some bear injury different than others.

    If he misses an extended period of time, this is the final nail in the coffin for the Mets this year. Before all of these injuries and opt outs, a case could be made for the Mets having the most complete team in the NL East (and I am not a Mets fan by any means). What they have left now is just a shame. While McNeil had been slumping, he along with DJL from NY are two of the best pure hitters in all of baseball. Losing him is a brutal loss for an already beaten up ball club.

        I will agree with you 100% if we can launch you headfirst at one of the outfield fences and you don’t sustain any injuries. On second thoughts, headfirst is probably unfair – we should use a body part that might actually be susceptible to damage.

    It’s nice that nobody is taking the Marlins seriously. It’s a little like a boxing world champion fighting a scrub fill-in, and is not taking the fight seriously, while he’s giving rounds away. The only thing is, in boxing you can score a knockout in the last round. However, in baseball, if you wait too long, you can’t score a knockout because baseball always goes to the final bell.

    Everyone stay focused on the Mets, Braves, Nats and Phils. Don’t pay attention to Miami.

      I’ve been saying this. The Marlins are playing well and it’s a sprint, not a marathon. This team can win the division or at come 2nd. The Phillies bullpen has been historically bad. It’s actually quite unbelievable. No lead is safe. Even a 12 run lead in the 9th was almost blown. So I think they’re the worst in the division. Nats have looked bad. Mets and Braves have been devastated by injuries.

      Was anyone actually considering paying attention to Miami? I live in Miami, and they need to stay bad to keep ticket prices down for Met games.

    This truly sucks. This guy is is a really good player and an important part of the lineup. Seems like the Mets can’t ever catch a break, whether it’s the best pitching staff (arguably) that aren’t all healthy at the same time, or their best hitters getting injured… I’d love to see this team fully healthy
