Manager Mickey Callaway said McNeil isn't dealing with an injury but will get Thursday's game against the Padres off because his "legs are a little heavy," Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Callaway's description of the situation suggests McNeil is in little danger of sitting out Friday's series opener versus the Pirates, but the 27-year-old's status is nonetheless worth verifying heading into the weekend. Amed Rosario will get a spin in the leadoff role Thursday while McNeil rests up.
