Lux (hip) will start at second base and bat sixth Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLCS versus the Mets.

Lux had to depart Game 1 and didn't play Game 2 because of hip flexor tightness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday. The 26-year-old is 5-for-19 with one home run in six contests so far this postseason.

McNeil will not be in the lineup Wednesday for Game 3 of the NLCS versus the Dodgers, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

McNeil was added to the Mets' NLCS roster after recovering from a fractured right wrist but has been limited to just one pinch-hitting appearance so far, and it appears Jose Iglesias will get another start at second base in Game 3. Iglesias is slashing just .222/.263/.222 so far during the postseason.

Manager Dave Roberts said he expects Lux (hip) to be back in the lineup Wednesday for Game 3 of the NLCS, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Lux was absent from the lineup in Game 2 after being removed from Game 1 due to hip-flexor tightness. The second baseman is 5-for-19 with a home run and two walks in the 2024 postseason. If he is back in the lineup as expected Wednesday, he will be facing Mets' right-handed starter Luis Severino.

McNeil is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the NLCS against the Dodgers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

McNeil was added to the Mets' NLCS roster after missing five-plus weeks with a fractured right wrist, but Jose Iglesias will make a second straight start at second base and Starling Marte will be in the lineup again in right field Monday. After lining out as a pinch hitter in Game 1, McNeil will be a candidate to come off the bench again in Game 2.

Lux (hip) is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the NLCS against the Mets, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Lux had to be lifted from Game 1 in the seventh inning due to hip flexor tightness. He will be available to pinch hit in Game 2 but will not be used on defense. The hope is that Lux will be ready to return to the lineup for Game 3 on Wednesday after two days of rest. Enrique Hernandez is at second base in Game 2.

Lux was removed from Sunday's Game 1 of the NLCS due to hip flexor tightness, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Lux talked to a trainer after grounding out in the sixth inning and didn't take the field to start the seventh frame. It's now known he's battling hip flexor soreness, which likely means he'll be tabbed day-to-day. Regardless of his health, the lefty-hitting Lux isn't likely to be in the lineup for Game 2 against southpaw Sean Manaea and the Mets.

Lux (undisclosed) was seen talking to a trainer in the dugout after grounding out in the sixth inning of Sunday's Game 1 of the NLCS before exiting the game in the top of the seventh, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

It's unclear why Lux was lifted from the contest, but his conversations with a trainer could indicate it's injury-related. Kevin Kiermaier replaced Lux in the lineup and stepped into center field while Enrique Hernandez shifted to second base. Lux went 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored before leaving.

McNeil (wrist) is part of New York's roster for the National League Championship Series versus the Dodgers.

McNeil ended the campaign on the 10-day injured list due to a wrist injury, but he logged at-bats in the Arizona Fall League on Friday and Saturday in preparation for returning for the series versus Los Angeles. His inclusion on the Mets' roster means New York will carry one more hitter than they did in the NLDS against Philadelphia, as reliever Adam Ottavino was left off the roster to make room for McNeil. It's likely that McNeil will work as a lefty bat off the bench during the NLCS.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that there's a "really good chance" McNeil (wrist) is on the NLCS roster as long as he comes out of his two rehab games in the Arizona Fall League with no concerns, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

McNeil will play full games with the Scottsdale Scorpions in the AFL on Friday and Saturday -- seeing reps at both second base and in right field -- and it would appear he's virtually a lock to be added to the Mets' NLCS roster as long as he doesn't experience a setback with his fractured right wrist. He would likely take Luisangel Acuna's spot on the active roster, but how much McNeil might play is a question mark. Current second baseman Jose Iglesias is hitting .207/.233/.207 during the postseason, while current right fielder Starling Marte is batting .200/.333/.200.

Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said Tuesday that India had surgery to "clean up" his ankle after the season ended, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

India's procedure is considered a minor one that will allow him to have a normal offseason and be ready for spring training. Nonetheless, the Reds have a number of underlying issues in the infield heading into 2025, including where to deploy India upon the return of Matt McLain, who missed the entire 2024 season after undergoing shoulder surgery and then suffering a stress reaction to his rib cage.
