NEW YORK – Mets star 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 last Thursday, the same day New York was eliminated from post-season contention.
