McNeil (back) isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals.

McNeil received more clarity on his back issue Tuesday when an MRI revealed a low-grade right intercostal strain, but he'll remain out Wednesday. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since Monday but is still considered day-to-day. J.D. Davis will start at third base in McNeil's place, while Billy Hamilton will make his Mets debut in center field, batting ninth.
