Juan Soto has left calf strain
MLB.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Mets outfielder Juan Soto was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a lingering left calf injury that has affected him since July 16.
- Soto initially played through the injury but experienced discomfort again on Friday, leading to the decision to sideline him.
- This left calf injury is separate from a previous right calf strain that kept Soto out for over two weeks in April.
- The Mets recalled infielder Eric Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse to fill roster needs during Soto’s absence.
- The Mets’ outfield will likely feature A.J. Ewing, Luis Robert Jr., and Carson Benge, while Jorge Polanco is expected to take most DH duties until Soto returns or a trade occurs before the August 3 deadline.
