NEW YORK -- New York Mets infielders Jeff McNeil and Eduardo Escobar left Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies with injuries.
The Mets said McNeil had a right thumb laceration and Escobar suffered tightness in his left side that will require an MRI.
McNeil tried to duck under the tag of Philadelphia's Rhys Hoskins on a grounder in the second inning, and his head collided with the first baseman's knee.
Escobar was pulled for pinch-hitter Luis Guillorme in the second. In the top half, Escobar had two balls carom off his glove at third for infield hits.
