Mets cutting back on the Jeff McNeil left field experiment
Jeff McNeil Anthony J. CausiPORT ST. LUCIE — The Jeff McNeil left field experiment isn’t over, but with Jed Lowrie and Todd Frazier still out with injuries, Mickey Callaway said Friday it was time to get McNeil more games at third base.
“We want to make sure we’re covered in all scenarios,’’ Callaway said after the Mets lost to Miami, 10-3, at First Data Field. “We feel like he needs to start playing third.”
That starts Sunday, when the Mets play host to the Cardinals.
Friday, though, still saw McNeil in left, where he had a somewhat adventurous day on a windy afternoon.
