McNeil expressed shock at his wrist injury, stating, 'I didn’t think anything of it...I was telling the coaching staff I’m fine.' Despite feeling little pain at the time, he now faces a likely end to his season due to a small fracture, with recovery time set at four to six weeks. He laments not being able to contribute further in a competitive playoff run, highlighting the importance of teamwork and camaraderie in the Mets' pursuit.
Carlos Mendoza remarked on the team's surprise regarding McNeil's injury, noting they will call someone up to fill his roster spot. He emphasized the need for the team to adapt quickly without McNeil, as they aim to maintain their playoff push. Mendoza mentioned that Jose Iglesias and Pablo Reyes would share second base duties, while also considering bringing up top prospect Luisangel Acuna to fill the void left by McNeil's injury.
