Francisco Alvarez, Jeff McNeil will be reevaluated by Mets on Monday
NY Post
Francisco Alvarez and Jeff McNeil both played minor league rehab games Sunday and are due to be at Citi Field on Monday to be reevaluated.
After that, they are likely to continue to get minor league at-bats before returning to the Mets, according to Carlos Mendoza.
Alvarez, sidelined since spring training with a fractured hamate bone in his left hand, is finished with the medically mandated portion of his rehab assignment and went 1-for-5 as the DH on Sunday with Double-A Binghamton.
Mendoza said Alvarez might get some at-bats at Triple-A Syracuse to make sure his timing is right at the plate.
McNeil, out with an oblique injury, played the second of back-to-back games with Binghamton on Sunday and had four hits, including a homer and a double.
The Mets have been without both starters since they went down with injuries during spring training, but they have received stellar performances from Luis Torrens behind the plate and Luisangel Acuña has been good at second base.

He had just delivered what was — may still be — the forever money performance in the Nets’ NBA history. Jason Kidd had played 51 minutes, 38 seconds of a 120-109 double overtime win against the Pacers, do-or-die Game 5, 2002 first round at the Meadowlands. Reggie Miller had made another of his gut-punch shots to extend the game, a 35-footer that made Tyrese Haliburton’s Game 1 prayer against the Knicks seem like a routine layup.

The old genius had finally gotten one move ahead of himself. That seemed clear. There were eight games left in the hockey season. The Devils, veteran team, were already inside the bracket, comfortably, on the way to 102 points. They’d been mailing it in lately, more a reflection of the time in the schedule than any lack of talent.
