Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil left Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds due to a right wrist contusion and will undergo further testing on Saturday.

McNeil, batting ninth and starting at second base, posted a second-inning flyout to center field and fifth-inning hit-by-pitch before Harrison Bader's sixth-inning pinch-hit appearance.

Jose Iglesias, who made a pinch-hit appearance for the fifth-batting Jesse Winker in the sixth inning, replaced McNeil at second base while Bader went to center field.

Through 129 games, McNeil is slashing .238/.308/.384 with 12 home runs and 44 RBI.
