\n Jeff McNeil was afraid he\u2019d suffered more than a contusion to his left knee when he crashed into the left-field fence making a run-saving catch of an Asdrubal Cabrera fly ball to end the first inning of Thursday\u2019s win over the Nationals at Citi Field.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t play in the Mets\u2019 6-5 loss to the Phillies on Friday night in Philadelphia, but is considered day-to-day.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as I hit the wall, my knee was kind of numb and it felt weird,\u2019\u2019 McNeil said prior to Friday\u2019s game<\/a>. \u201cI thought it was much worse. When I stood up, it didn\u2019t feel like my knee was too stable. That\u2019s what was so scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was carted off the field, but McNeil and the Mets got good news<\/a> when an MRI exam and X-ray showed only the contusion.<\/p>\n

On Friday, he said the knee was \u201cmuch better, although still sore.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pretty optimistic about how it feels,\u2019\u2019 McNeil said.<\/p>\n

Dom Smith started in left Friday, with Brandon Nimmo in center and Michael Conforto in right.<\/p>\n

Despite the initial concern, McNeil said he has no intention of toning down his playing style, which can sometimes lead to injuries like the one he suffered Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna keep doing that,\u2019\u2019 McNeil said of his aggressiveness. \u201cThat\u2019s who I am. I play the game hard. I play the game the right way. So if there\u2019s a ball I need to go into the wall to catch, I\u2019m gonna do it. [On Thursday], it saved a couple runs. I\u2019m never gonna change.That\u2019s who I am as a player and it\u2019s just who I\u2019m gonna be.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s fine with manager Luis Rojas.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe plays so hard, always,\u2019\u2019 Rojas said. \u201cThe other day, he dove for a ball coming in and was sacrificing his whole body to get the out. That\u2019s how he plays. Sometimes I see him stomping on first base really hard hitting the bag and I\u2019m like \u2018oh,\u2019 but that\u2019s how he plays. It\u2019s tough to take the aggressiveness away from the guy [and] to play it safe. He might even get hurt by doing that\u2026 I\u2019m just glad there\u2019s nothing more serious in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

That includes a head injury, which McNeil said trainers were also fearful of when they first went out to see him following the play.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to get my hands up and kind of protect my face and head,\u2019\u2019 McNeil said. \u201cMy neck was a little bit sore [Thursday] night.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

David Peterson was feeling \u201cgood,\u201d according to Rojas, a day after he was removed at 74 pitches with arm fatigue. But the Mets won\u2019t have a better idea until the left-hander\u2019s next throwing session on Saturday whether he\u2019s facing any complications. <\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

After Luis Guillorme singled with one out in the top of the eighth \u2014 his third hit of the night \u2014 he was replaced by pinch runner Billy Hamilton. The speedy Hamilton promptly swiped second, but when the ball dribbled away from Jean Segura at second base, Hamilton made an ill-conceived decision to try to advance to third. Didi Gregorius pounded on the ball and made a strong off-balance throw to third to get Hamilton for the second out. Amed Rosario then whiffed to end the inning. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe was pretty upset with himself when he came back to the dugout,\u2019\u2019 Rojas said. \u201cHe was overly aggressive on the play. \u2026 I don\u2019t know if he thought the ball got further away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Amed Rosario returned to the starting lineup at shortstop after three days sidelined with a stomach bug. Andres Gimenez, who had been playing shortstop in Rosario\u2019s absence, started at third base to give J.D. Davis a day off. Rojas considered pinch-hitting Davis for Wilson Ramos in the ninth. Ramos grounded out. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe trust [Ramos] in that at-bat,\u2019\u2019 Rojas said. <\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Drew Smith was optioned to the Mets\u2019 alternate training site to clear roster space for Cano.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
