    The Mets and Jeff McNeil were dealt a stunning blow Saturday: a breaking ball that McNeil thought nothing of likely has ended his season.

    The Mets’ second baseman is out 4-6 weeks, the team said, with a wrist fracture after the Reds’ Brandon Williamson threw a 74-mph curveball that struck him a night earlier .

    Mets are basically in the playoffs even before October

    “Didn’t hurt that bad at all,” McNeil said before the rest of his team faced off against Cincinnati at Citi Field.

    McNeil, whose game has elevated during a strong second half, did not want to officially proclaim himself out for the season.

    “If you see me on the field again, that’s a really good thing,” said McNeil, who only theoretically could return with a deep Mets run into October.

    Jose Iglesias is expected to assume the majority of second-base time, although it is at least possible that Luisangel Acuna gets a call-up sometime this month.
