The New York Mets' starting lineup is missing two more star players after placing outfielder Michael Conforto and infielder Jeff McNeil on the 10-day injured list, the team announced Monday.

Both players are dealing with hamstring injuries.

The pair are the latest Mets members to land on the injured list, joining 10 other key players.

Conforto injured himself running to first base on Sunday, while McNeil, who also departed from the same game, has been troubled by leg injuries in recent days.

The two All-Stars are off to slow starts for New York this season but remain important members of its core.
