The New York Mets have lost three starting position players on Monday night. Jeff McNeil was a late scratch with lower back tightness, Amed Rosario left the game with quad tightness, and Robinson Cano was removed with groin tightness.
McNeil is an injury-prone player. He missed a ton of time in the minors and, while he’s improved in the majors, is still susceptible to injuries. It’s unlikely that this specific setback is going to be longterm, but it’s impossible to know for sure. Even missing just a few days could be devastating in a 60-game season.
