Jeff McNeil hopes to return to the Mets for the NLCS and he took a step toward that goal Friday night, going 1-for-4 with a walk in an Arizona Fall League game.

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.
