Mets' Powerhouse Duo Returns: Alvarez and McNeil Back to Boost Playoff Hopes
“Pretty excited,” McNeil said. “Feels like Opening Day for me because it is.”
Alvarez fractured the hamate bone in his left hand during practice on March 8 and underwent surgery two days later. McNeil had been out since straining his right oblique March 10 in a spring training game.
The Mets have thrived despite the absence of both lineup mainstays. New York has won seven in a row and entered Friday 18-7, five games ahead of second-place Philadelphia in the NL East.
“I think we’ve been playing really well and I think we’ve put ourselves in a very good position,” Alvarez said via an interpreter.
