The New York Mets officially placed second baseman Jeff McNeil on the injured list with a fractured right wrist and recalled outfielder DJ Stewart from Triple-A Syracuse.

McNeil, 32, was injured in the fifth inning of Friday night's 6-4 win against the Cincinnati Reds. McNeil squared to bunt, and as he pulled his bat back, he was hit by a curveball thrown by Brandon Williamson.
