The New York Mets could be getting second baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil back for the NLCS.

He broke his right wrist when he was hit by a pitch Sept. 6 and missed the rest of the regular season. He was scheduled to play right field Saturday night in his second consecutive tune-up game for the Scottsdale Scorpions of the Arizona Fall League.

Mendoza said there's "a good chance he'll be on the roster" as long as McNeil remains healthy.

McNeil went 1-for-4 with a walk while playing second base Friday night for Scottsdale.
