Francisco Álvarez and Jeff McNeil played minor leagues rehabilitation games on Sunday and must be in Citi Field on Monday to be reevaluated.
After that, they are likely to continue with a fancy leagues before returning to the Mets, according to Carlos Mendoza.
Álvarez, marginalized from spring training with a fractured bone bone in his left hand, has ended with the medically commanded portion of his rehabilitation allocation and was 1 by 5 as DH on Sunday with Double-A Binghamton.
Mendoza said Álvarez could get some shifts at triple-a Syracuse to make sure the time is right on the plate.
McNeil, with an oblique injury, played the second of the consecutive games with Binghamton on Sunday and had four hits, including a home run and a double.
The METS have been without both headlines since they fell with the spring training of injury, but they have received stellar performances from Luis Torrens behind the dish and Luisangel Acuña has been on the second base.
Acuña had two hits in Sunday’s 7-4 victory over the cardinals, extending her batting streak to eight games.
“It’s like having another initial boy down there [in the lineup]”Said Francisco Lindor about Acuña, who hit sixth on Sunday and scored an insurance race at the bottom of the eighth.
Mark winds was insecure for Sunday’s victory after leaving Saturday’s victory with a groin injury, but the third base man said he felt better and that he could arrive at the bank on Monday for the first game of the series against the Philis.
He hopes to receive more treatment on Monday and evaluate both swings and in the third before the game.
Without winds on Sunday, Brett Bitch began in third place and was a hero without hits, although he reached the base in the interference of a receptor in the room.
Lindor celebrated after reaching the base in an infield hit in the seventh, a cloud right in front of the plate with one at the entrance.
When asked about the reaction, the campocorto that hits the switch noticed that it was his first blow from the right side of the plate this season.
He had entered the game 0 by 13 against lefties.
“They were throwing a hits against me from the right side,” “Lindor joked.” Now I am not zero on that side. They say that successes come in clusters. We will see what happens. At least there is one on the board. “
Before Brandon Nimmo appeared with a key rbi blow on Sunday, Mendoza said he was sure that the left gardener was going to leave his recently fallen.
“I thought at some point on road trip, he was a bit aggressive and left there and swing in many first releases, which is intentional,” Mendoza said. “We got used to some of those games with a game plan to attack launchers staff and we didn’t get results in general, including Nimmo. But I like where it is, as special in the last games …”
Mendoza said Paul Blackburn left his rehabilitation excursion with the fine Brooklyn class on Saturday. It is in the 15 -day IL with right knee inflammation.
