Jeff McNeil Set for Potential Return to Mets for NLCS

The Mets' second baseman, recovering from a wrist fracture, could rejoin the team if he successfully completes Arizona Fall League games.

Jeff McNeil has been sidelined since September 6 due to a fractured right wrist but is preparing for a possible return to the Mets' roster for the National League Championship Series.
The Mets have arranged for McNeil to participate in the Arizona Fall League to face live pitching, as their facilities in Florida are affected by Hurricane Milton.
If McNeil performs well in the AFL games on Friday and Saturday, he is expected to be activated for the NLCS starting Sunday.
McNeil, a two-time All-Star, has a history of strong performance, notably leading the league in batting average in 2022.
His return could provide the Mets with additional versatility and options, particularly as they aim for their first NLCS appearance since 2015.
