MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt was \u201cin good spirits\u201d and undergoing additional testing at a local hospital on Wednesday, according to an MLB spokesman, after he was hit with a line drive off the side of head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendelstedt was umpiring first base when Tyrone Taylor\u2019s foul shot in the sixth inning beaned him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw it like I was watching it in slow motion,\u201d Taylor said after the Mets\u2019 4-3 loss to the Twins at Target Field. \u201cIt was just scary.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendelstedt was \u201ccoherent, speaking,\u201d according to crew chief Todd Tichenor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The remainder of the game was played with three umpires.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taylor said the incident reminded him of a line drive he hit into the stands earlier in his career that injured a fan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels like it was my fault,\u201d Taylor said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeff McNeil\u2019s next act in his rehab will involve trying a different position.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the Mets second baseman continues toward a return from an oblique strain, he is scheduled to play center field on Thursday for Low-A St. Lucie, according to manager Carlos Mendoza.\u00a0<\/p>\n
McNeil has three center field appearances in his major league career, two of which were starts in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Mets have an opportunity for playing time in center, with Jose Siri sidelined by a fractured left tibia. Siri is expected to be placed on the injured list Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is nothing new for [McNeil], he has played there before,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cBut we wanted to take advantage of this opportunity in the minor leagues, he\u2019s on board with it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mendoza noted the club also has Taylor and Luisangel Acu\u00f1a as center field options, but wants to increase McNeil\u2019s positional flexibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n
McNeil\u2019s rehab will potentially shift to Triple-A Syracuse this weekend, but Mendoza said the weather will play a determining factor. <\/p>\n
McNeil strained his oblique early in spring training and has been rehabbing since.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Francisco Alvarez was scheduled for a return to action with Double-A Binghamton, a day after he was hit by a pitch in the left hand and departed the game after catching the next inning. <\/p>\n
Alvarez is rehabbing from surgery on that same hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA little scary, he came out of the game, but he is fine,\u201d Mendoza said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
