Mets' Carlos Mendoza Announces Jeff McNeil News After Leaving Diamondbacks Game
However, the struggling second baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil finally joined the party as well, hitting an RBI triple in the seventh inning. The 33-year-old is slashing .229/.282/.429 with one homer and five RBI this season.

McNeil tweaked his hamstring when running from second to third base on the triple and was taken out for Jose Azocar. New York manager Carlos Mendoza sounded off about the injury after the game, via SNY.

"He said he felt a cramp in his left hamstring, but he's fine," he said. "I was going to be aggressive with Azocar there, anyway. Trainers took a look at him, I just talked to him. He's fine. Nothing to worry about there."
Azocar later scored on Francisco Lindor's double in the ninth.
McNeil had just two hits in his last 17 at-bats before Wednesday's game. The 6-foot, 195-pounder's current form is a far cry from his 2022 campaign, when we won the batting title with a .326/.382/.454 slash line.

The Mets (24-14) won twice in their three-game set with the Diamondbacks (19-18), and are now 5-5 in their last 10 games. They're 2.5 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for first place in the NL East as the latter club plays the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night.
Up next for New York is a home series vs. the Chicago Cubs.

Pressing Rangers Questions And Answers
When a club like the Rangers finishes in the NHL's subterranean depths, it raises questions that must be answered before the autumn leaves start to fall. (Now don't be a wise guy and tell me that they're falling already.) A successful answer to the questions below could mean the difference between a playoff berth or more misery. So let's give it a shot and see what happens. QUESTION ONE: How will Matt Rempe react to another dismissal to Beautiful Downtown Connecticut? MAVEN: He'll sit in the corner and sulk for a minute, discover that he's getting a ton of dough for very little work and catch the next Amtrak to Connecticut. The Remper knows from experience that a call back to Penn Station is less than a month away. QUESTION TWO: What hope is there for Mika Zibanejad to really and truly, I mean REALLY AND TRULY – reform? MAVEN: If such a thing as peer pressure exists in the Rangers dressing room -- having a captain wouldn't hurt – then it's possible that Z will take defense seriously. Also, some lovey-dovey from new coach Mike Sullivan could help. (A little.) QUESTION THREE: What did the general staff learn from watching the Panthers? MAVEN: A blend of tough hockey and skill distilled by a brainy but funny coach and a clutch goalie wins Cups. (Are the Rangers tough enough? Depends on the third and fourth lines.) QUESTION FOUR: Which teams will the Rangers beat out to make the playoffs? MAVEN: Buffalo, Columbus, Washington, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston. The Hockey Maven Picks His Five Favorite Rangers Anybody can like a star; it's the easiest thing in the world. QUESTION FIVE: Why will you like the new Rangers MSG Networks broadcast team? Maven: Kenny Albert on play-by-play and Dave Maloney on "color" will bring a fresh vim, vigor and vitality to viewers. The pair will be invigorated by the move from radio to tv. Albert will bring his world class play-by-play while Maloney's combo of sandpaper candor and "fan feeling" will add a unique touch. Sam and Joe never will be forgotten but Kenny and Dave have the best act to follow!

Derek Jeter on Yankees' Recent Struggles: 'Way too many mistakes'
Are the New York Yankees built to return to the World Series? The Captain doesn't think so unless they fix those errors and mistakes. "They make way too many mistakes... You can't get away with making that number of mistakes against great teams," Yankees great and FOX Sports' analyst Derek Jeter said during Saturday's rain delay at the MLB Speedway Classic. The Yankees made a flurry of trade deadline deals to improve their bullpen, bringing in relievers David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jake Bird from the Colorado Rockies and Camilo Doval from the San Francisco Giants. But all three struggled in Friday's brutal 13-12 loss to the Miami Marlins, which included several blown leads. The Yankees had won 79 straight games when scoring 10-plus runs, which was the longest streak in MLB since 2019."New team, new surroundings, it takes awhile to adjust," Jeter said about the new relievers. But the Yankees lost again on Saturday to the Marlins in a 2-0 shutout that included a basrunning mistake by Jazz Chisholm Jr when he was caught not paying attention that forced a double play. "You can't continue to do it. You have to clean it up. I mean, it's that simple, there's no excuses," Jeter said. "You have to play better. If you don't play better, you're not going to go very far."
