New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil has a broken right wrist and likely is out for the rest of the regular season, manager Carlos Mendoza said Saturday.

The injury occurred in the fifth inning in Friday night's 6-4 extra-inning win against the Cincinnati Reds. McNeil squared to bunt, and as he pulled his bat back, he was hit by a curveball thrown by Brandon Williamson.

He stayed in the game after being checked by a trainer and even completed a double play in the top half of the sixth inning, but he was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the bottom half of the inning due to swelling in his wrist.
