Mets' Jeff McNeil undergoes wrist surgery

NEW YORK --Metsstar Jeff McNeil had surgery on his broken right wrist a week after his first All-Star season was cut short by the injury.

The operation to repair McNeil's right distal ulnar fracture was performed by Dr. David Helfet at the Hospital for Special Surgery on Wednesday.

McNeil was hit by a pitch on Thursday, the same day New York was eliminated from postseason contention.

The 27-year-old infielder and outfielder batted .318 with 23 home runs, 75 RBIs and a .916 OPS. He finished fourth in the National League in batting average after competing for the batting title for much of the season.
