Mets’ Jeff McNeil has ‘a good chance’ to be on NLCS roster

Jeff McNeil managed second base just fine, and his final remaining test in the Arizona Fall League was to be in ri🐻ght field.

“If he’s healthy there is a good chance he will be on the [NLCS] roster and we’ll go from there,” manager Carlos Mendoza said Saturday during a t𝄹eam workout at Citi Field.

🌃McNeil, who is rehabbing from a right wrist fracture, played nine innings at second base and received five at-bats Frid🍌ay.

He reported to Mendoza that he felt “really good.” He was scheduled to receive further at-bats on Saturday as the right 💖fielder.

𒆙The Mets value McNeil as a potential lefty bat off the bench against the Dodgers who can play second base and the outfield as needed.

With the Mets an🧸d Yankees among ꦿthe final four teams remaining in the postseason, Luis Severino was asked if he’s hoping to play his former team with everything at stake.

“I think in everybody’s mind,🎐 it’s a bit of the perfect scenario,” Severino said. “But I think right now we need to focus on the Dodgers.”

Severino said he would expect to get booed at Yan💝kee Stadium if there’s a Subway Series.

Before the teams played in July, the right-hander revealed comments he made to former Yankees teammatꦐes in a text chain in which he said the team has just “two good hitters” — a reference to Aaron Judge and Juan Soto.

Tyler Glasnow was the Dodgers pitcher who frustrated the Mets most during the regular season (two runs over 15 🐭innings), but the right-ha♒nder was shut down in September with an elbow sprain.

The Mets had moderate success against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, with three runs over six innings against the right-hand𓄧er.
