Mets Star Juan Soto (Calf) Goes on IL, Could Face Lengthy Absence
Juan Soto had been nursing the injury for at least a week, and a conservative recovery estimate is six weeks, the Mets said.
- On Saturday, the New York Mets placed Juan Soto on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 left calf strain after the All-Star exited Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
- Soto had been managing nagging calf discomfort for a week before Friday's injury. This Grade 2 strain is more severe than the right calf strain that sidelined him 15 games in April.
- The All-Star outfielder has been productive despite the injury concerns, posting a.283 batting average with 21 home runs and 52 RBIs in 84 games. His.947 OPS ranks second in the National League.
- To fill the roster spot, the Mets recalled infielder Eric Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse. New York sits at the bottom of the National League East standings with a 43-60 record.
- Interim manager Green said the injury is "a little more significant than last time," with a conservative six-week recovery timeline. The Mets face an August 3 trade deadline while potentially missing their star for the season's remainder.
