Jeff McNeil's return comes at a crucial time for the Mets, as his experience and versatility will be vital against the Dodgers, especially with their missing left-hander Alex Vesia.
With Jose Iglesias cementing his role as the regular second baseman, McNeil's opportunities could arise in the outfield, showcasing his adaptability and the strategic value he brings to the lineup.
Miguel Rojas's injury has forced changes for the Dodgers, making Tommy Edman the everyday shortstop and requiring adjustments with Max Muncy and Enrique Hernandez's positions.
The Mets' decision to carry 14 position players and 12 pitchers, omitting seasoned right-hander Adam Ottavino, indicates a focus on maximizing offensive capabilities for critical postseason matchups.
