Jeff McNeil, one of the team&#8217;s most consistent hitters, is dealing with a right shoulder discomfort, which kept him out of the lineup for the last game of the series against Washington.\n\nManager Carlos Mendoza reported that McNeil&#8217;s shoulder problem began late last week, leading to the player being designated as a hitter in Saturday and Sunday&#8217;s games. Despite this, McNeil has shown his worth in recent games, with an outstanding performance that includes a home run, two doubles, and five RBIs in the previous two games against the Nationals.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>He doesn&#8217;t mind batting. It&#8217;s more the pitching.<\/p><cite>Carlos Mendoza<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nIn addition to McNeil, Brandon Nimmo was also absent from the lineup due to neck stiffness that forced him to leave Wednesday night&#8217;s game in the second inning. Tyrone Taylor took his place in left field.\n\nThe Mets&#8217; series in Washington began with the news that catcher Francisco Alvarez suffered a ligament sprain in his right thumb that will require surgery. Luis Torrens, the backup catcher, had a difficult night on Wednesday, but manager Mendoza assured that he is doing well.\n\nThe New York team, which before Wednesday&#8217;s defeat had accumulated a streak of three consecutive victories, finds itself in a complicated situation this season. With the largest budget in Major League Baseball, the Mets have a 5-15 record since July 28. In the National League East Division, they are 6 1\/2 games behind Philadelphia and only one game ahead of Cincinnati in the fight for the last wild card spot.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo, Out for the Mets The New York Mets team faces new challenges as they seek to recover from a slump in their performance during the summer.
