McNeil (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

McNeil exited Sunday's loss to the Rays with left hamstring tightness, but he's now been diagnosed with a strain after he underwent an MRI. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Johneshwy Fargas' contract was selected and Khalil Lee was recalled as part of the transaction.

Guillorme (oblique) hasn't been cleared to resume swinging a bat during his rehab program, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Based on where he currently stands in his recovery from a right oblique strain, Guillorme is realistically at least a week away from returning from the 10-day injured list. When the Mets are at full strength, Guillorme typically functions mostly as a late-inning defensive replacement off the bench, but his absence looms larger now that four everyday players -- Michael Conforto (hamstring), Jeff McNeil (hamstring), Brandon Nimmo (finger) and J.D. Davis (hand) -- are also on the 10-day injured list.

Kim went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks, an RBI and a stolen base Sunday in a victory over the Cardinals.

Kim wasn't able to notch any hits in the contest, but he still made a contribution on the scorecard. He drew a based-loaded walk in the fourth inning to bring home a run and added a stolen base after another walk in the eighth. The 25-year-old has three steals on the campaign but has struggled to a .190/.247/.286 slash line.

The Mets plan to place McNeil on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring strain, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

McNeil left Sunday's game against the Rays with what was originally called left hamstring tightness, but an MRI revealed an injury serious enough to sideline him for at least 10 days. Exactly how much time he'll miss remains unclear. The Mets are rather beat up at the moment and are also without infielders J.D. Davis (hand) and Luis Guillorme (oblique). Jonathan Villar has already moved into a starting role at third base, so Jose Peraza should fill in for McNeil at second, something he was already doing late last week while McNeil battled leg and back cramps.

Frazier went 2-for-4 with a walk in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.

His .323 batting average is at its highest level since the second game of the season and he's slashing .361/.418/.541 in 67 May plate appearances. Frazier, who saw time in left field Friday for the second time in 2021, entered the season with a career .273 batting mark, so it remains to be seen whether he can maintain his lofty numbers. Regardless, the 29-year-old has proven to be one of the team's most consistent players and has likely boosted his trade stock.

McNeil (hamstring) will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

McNeil was initially diagnosed with left hamstring tightness after he left Sunday's game against the Rays. He should be considered day-to-day until the results of his MRI are known.

Marte (hamstring) will join Triple-A Reno for a rehab assignment Monday, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

The 27-year-old has been playing in rehab games at the alternate training site but will progress to minor-league contests this week. Marte has been sidelined since early April with a hamstring strain, but he appears to be on the cusp of returning from the injured list.

Lux will start at shortstop Sunday against the Marlins and will see regular time there while Corey Seager (hand) is sidelined, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 23-year-old has played shortstop a handful of times through the first six weeks of the season, but he'll now take on the starting role with Seager out for at least the next four weeks with a broken hand. Chris Taylor also figures to see increased time, whether it be at shortstop or second base. Lux has heated up after a slow start to the season with a .784 OPS over his past 11 games.

McNeil (cramps) was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays with left hamstring tightness, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

The 29-year-old has been dealing with leg and back cramps throughout the week, but he's now managing a hamstring issue after going 1-for-1 as the designated hitter Sunday in Tampa Bay. McNeil was expected to start at second base Monday, but that plan is now obviously in flux given his early departure.

McNeil (cramps) will bat leadoff as the designated hitter Sunday at Tampa Bay.

The 29-year-old hasn't played the field since Tuesday when he began experiencing cramping, but he'll serve as the designated hitter for the second time against the Rays. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, McNeil is expected to be back starting at second base Monday in Atlanta.
