Mets Bench Jeff McNeil to Address Hitting Struggles

Manager Carlos Mendoza emphasizes need for McNeil to regain line-drive hitting form

Jeff McNeil benched for the second time in four games due to ongoing hitting issues.
McNeil's performance has declined significantly since winning the batting title in 2022.
Manager Carlos Mendoza notes McNeil is lifting the ball too much, impacting his consistency.
José Iglesias, recently called up from Triple-A, is starting in McNeil's place.
Mendoza remains hopeful McNeil will return to form with continued practice and adjustments.
