The New York Mets activated former batting champion Jeff McNeil from the 10-day injured list Thursday night.
The two-time All-Star second baseman hasn't played for the Mets this season because of a right oblique strain. He batted .393 with two homers in eight rehab games across three minor league levels.
McNeil, 33, batted just .238 with 12 homers and 44 RBIs in 129 games for New York last season. That was well below his .326 mark that won the 2022 National League batting crown.
Overall, McNeil has a .289 career average, 68 homers and 313 RBIs in 801 games over six seasons.
