Jeff McNeil - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

All-Stars Dingler of Tigers and Kurtz of A's exit game in 2nd inning due to injury, illness

Detroit Tigers All-Star catcher Dillon Dingler left Wednesday’s game against the Athletics with a injured right hand

1 DAY AGO • Associated Press

Playing time trending down McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact The left-handed-hitting McNeil has now sat in three straight games, including two matchups versus right-handed pitchers. The 34-year-old has struggled to a .227/.297/.305 batting line on the season, with his .597 OPS representing a career-low mark by 82 points. The Athletics' patience with McNeil may be wearing thin, especially while rookie Joshua Kuroda-Grauer has made a case for steady playing time by producing a 1.058 OPS through seven games since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas last week. Kuroda-Grauer will receive the nod at second base Wednesday and could continue to play ahead of McNeil while he's wielding a hot bat.

Scratched from starting nine McNeil was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact McNeil was initially slated to serve as the Athletics' designated hitter in the series finale, but Jonah Heim will instead handle those duties. The Athletics haven't indicated that the late lineup change was the result of McNeil nursing an injury or illness, so he may simply be getting the afternoon off after going just 2-for-20 over the last seven contests.
