Mets activate Jeff McNeil, place Robert Gsellman on IL
More help for the Mets’ offense is back.
On Monday, the Mets announced infielder Jeff McNeil was activated before the double-header against the Atlanta Braves.
Robert Gsellman was placed on the injured list to make room on the roster for McNeil.
McNeil had been out since May 16 with a hamstring injury. General manager Zack Scott had put a late-June timeline on McNeil’s return back in May.
In 31 games this season, McNeil is slashing .242/.336/.374 with three home runs and eight RBI.
McNeil’s return gives the Mets another strong option at second and third moving forward. He is not in the lineup for the first game on Monday afternoon against Atlanta, however.
