Jeff McNeil News
New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil is back in the lineup on Saturday after exiting Friday's game with a right thumb laceration. He'll bat eighth against the Philadelphia Phillies. McNeil has put together a strong line in his age-30 season, slashing .306/.360/.446 with seven homers, 46 RBI, 24 walks, and 49 strikeouts. Most of his production has come against righties, so he should fare well against Aaron Nola on Saturday. McNeil deserves to be rostered in most fantasy leagues down the stretch.
New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil left Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies with a laceration on his right thumb. McNeil went 0-for-1 in the game before departing, getting replaced in the lineup by Tyler Naquin. The veteran second baseman may miss a game or so with the cut but this does not sound like a serious injury. McNeil is hitting .306 with seven homers, 48 runs, 46 RBI, and two steals in 2022.
New York Mets utility man Jeff McNeil had a strong game Sunday, along with many of his teammates, going 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored in a 9-3 victory over the Miami Marlins. McNeil only had three multi-hit games in July, but two of them came in his last two days. With his fifth homer of the season in the previous game, it appears McNeil may be ready to emerge from his July swoon. McNeil has a .771 OPS with 41 runs scored, 38 RBI, and two steals this year in 333 plate appearances.

In 2020, Jeff McNeil hit just four home runs over 183 at-bats. Extrapolated over the course of a full 162-game season, it equated to 10-12 HR. This represented a noticeable decline when compared to his 23 HR outburst in 2019. McNeil's overall exit velocity, 2.5% barrel rate, and overall hard-hit rate of 26.5% were well below his career and MLB averages (as well as his 2019 numbers), supporting this decline. Notwithstanding, McNeil remained consistent posting a .311 batting average, a .383 on-base percentage, and 14 doubles in 2020 (after hitting .318 with a .384 OBP and 38 doubles in 2019). While his batting average and OBP were supported by an elite K% and whiff rate, McNeil outperformed his .278 xBA and .325 xwOBA, though similar outperformance in 2019 didn't impact his final 2019 numbers. In 2021, McNeil will again be a stable source of elite hitting with solid RBI and run production at the top of a stacked Mets lineup that now boasts Francisco Lindor. His multi-position eligibility in the outfield, second base, and third base further adds to his fantasy value as an attractive Swiss Army knife for managers. That said, HR expectations should be tempered. McNeil will be a safe bet for a .310 batting average, a .380 OBP, 10-15 HR, 75-85 runs, 70-80 RBI, and 32-40 doubles in 2021. Such production from a consistent, multi-position eligible regular is well worth his ADP of 98 in mixed league formats.
