New York dishes will be without another key player on the day of opening. The second goal player Jeff McNeil has a low -grade oblique tension and will miss the start of the regular season, the manager Carlos Mendoza said on Thursday. McNeil will be closed from 7 to 10 days and the dishes expect what a total of 3 to 4 weeks are lacking. The opening day is exactly in two weeks.
McNeil, 33 next month, reduced .238 / .308 / .384 last year, although it was much better in the second half (.923 ops) than the first (.591 ops). Wandering land broke his wrist and indeed ended his season in early September. The dishes had a very rough spring on the injury front. Here is a list of their injured on foot:
In addition, the Nimmo Brandon Brandon Brandon is aligned Thursday for the first time in 13 days after having treated pain in the right knee which required freezing. Thursday will only be his second spring match.
With Madrigal and McNeil sidelined, the dishes could turn to Brett Baty in the second row. Baty, a third natural goal player, started training in the second year last year and has a formidable spring. The prospects Luisangel Acuña and Ronny Mauricio are also candidates to intervene in the second goal, ditto non-respiors Donovan Walton and Luis de Los Santos.
“We will see what he can do,” said Mendoza about Baty may be filled at the second base (via dreams). “We are quite comfortable at the moment. The reports we got last year when he played Triple-A was good, and what we have seen so far was good. But again, we have had three other guys in there that we feel comfortable too. And we will see how it goes.”
The dishes went 89-73 and made a lively race towards the NLCS last year. They then signed Juan Soto to a record contract of $ 765 million over 15 years. Soto, Francisco Lindor and others will have to wear a heavier charge at the start of the season while the dishes are sailing on all these training injuries in the spring.
