The Mets are calling on a familiar face to help cope with their latest injury.
They’re getting infielder Ruben Tejada to Atlanta in the event McNeil goes on the injured list, The Post’s Mike Puma confirmed. According to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, the Mets do believe McNeil will need to go on the IL. He’s scheduled for an MRI exam on Wednesday afternoon.
McNeil hurt his hamstring in Tuesday night’s 5-3 loss to the Braves while trying to beat out an infield hit in the ninth inning.
“It didn’t feel great, but I don’t think it’s terrible,” McNeil said after the game.
