NEW YORK -- Jeff McNeil has a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, but the 2022 NL batting champion is not expected to need surgery.
McNeil was placed on the 10-day injured list by the New York Mets on Thursday, ending his season. The injury was diagnosed Wednesday, after McNeil went 1-for-4 in a doubleheader opener against Miami. He is to receive a PRP injection Friday.
McNeil said he was injured Sept. 11 when he slid awkwardly while being tagged out at second base by Arizona's Jordan Lawlar while trying to stretch a fifth-inning single.
