Mets' McNeil bruises knee crashing into wall on spectacular catch

New York Mets outfielder Jeff McNeil was carted off the field during Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals after he crashed into the outfield wall while making a spectacular running catch.

McNeil injured his knee on the play. He initially took a couple of steps but was unable to continue walking under his own power.

Mets manager Luis Rojas said postgame that the All-Star is day-to-day after suffering a bone contusion in his knee, according to Tim Britton of The Athletic.

The versatile 28-year-old entered Thursday's action hitting .293/.358/.362 through 16 games this season.

Billy Hamilton replaced McNeil in the field.
