The Mets faced a disappointing 4-3 loss to the Twins, ending a 3-3 road trip against weak competition. Amid roster challenges, manager Carlos Mendoza is trialing Jeff McNeil in centerfield, particularly because of injuries to other players. This decision aids in providing regular playtime for Luisangel Acuna. Meanwhile, young pitcher Max Kranick is expected to return to the roster soon, highlighting the team's inventive adjustments amid injuries.
Manager Carlos Mendoza mentioned, "There's a reason why we're doing it .â.â. We just felt like, since he's down there now, why not use this opportunity to get him some exposure?" He emphasizes McNeil's flexibility in the roster adjustments.
The Mets, under tight circumstances, are showcasing their managerial creativity, exploring different player roles, as they gear to keep Acuna in the major leagues for consistent playing time.
