McNeil was on hand with the Mets prior to Wednesday's NLDS Game 4 to take infield and batting practice: The New York Post reported earlier this week that the Mets were considering a petition to Major League Baseball to allow McNeil to partake in the AFL in response to the impact Hurricane Milton would have on their Florida facilities.

The Mets added Jeff McNeil to their NLCS roster, opting to also keep Luisangel Acuña as a backup infielder. The Dodgers, meanwhile, will be without reliever Alex Vesia and Miguel Rojas.

Adam Ottavino is the odd man out. The Mets’ NLCS roster has added Jeff McNeil after a two-game rehab stint in the Arizona Fall League and has retained Luisangel Acuna, kept because of his late-game defense and baserunning.
