Get well soon, Jeff McNeil! The ailing utility man is dealing with a knee issue, which as a result, has created another one for the New York Mets. On Saturday, J.D. Davis will start at third base in McNeil’s place.
This isn’t the problem. It’s the lineup Mickey Callaway submitted which has drawn ire from the fans. Instead of batting Davis near the bottom of the lineup where backup players with a career batting average of .189 may find themselves, Davis is batting cleanup yet again.
Davis has not looked good this year at the plate or in the field.
