Juan Soto To Undergo MRI For Possible Calf Injury
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Juan Soto exited the Mets' 10-3 win over the Giants early due to right calf tightness and will undergo an MRI to assess the injury's severity.
- Soto was injured while advancing bases in the first inning and was replaced in left field shortly after, raising concerns about his availability.
- Soto has been a key offensive contributor this season, batting .355 with a .412 on-base percentage and one home run over 34 plate appearances.
- The Mets would likely rely on Brett Baty and Tyrone Taylor to fill Soto's role if he misses time, with adjustments also possible at first base due to Jorge Polanco's limited availability.
- Soto has demonstrated remarkable durability, having played 783 of 810 games from 2021-25 and not missing time due to injury since 2021; the MRI results will clarify if this streak continues.
