The Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2, on Friday afternoon at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie as spring training nears the end.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza discussed progress for Brett Baty, Clay Holmes, and Dedniel Nunez, plus Holmes talked about his strong spring.

"Until he's symptom-free, that's when we'll re-image it," Mendoza said about a follow-up MRI for McNeil, who has not yet been cleared for baseball activity. The expectation when the injury was diagnosed was that McNeil would need three-to-four weeks before returning to big league game action.
