Juan Soto Comes Off Injured List and Returns to Lineup as Mets Attempt to Stop 12-Game Slide
Juan Soto is expected to return after the Mets averaged 2.64 runs per game without him during an 11-game losing streak.
- The New York Mets expect to activate Juan Soto for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins, manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday. Soto has not played since suffering a right calf strain on April 3.

- Christian Scott will be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to start Thursday against the Twins, marking his first action since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2024.
- Mendoza plans to alternate Soto between designated hitter and left field in his first two games, stating, "We're not going to play him back-to-back 18 innings."
- While Soto's return offers hope, the club faces broader challenges with many underperforming players. Mendoza cautioned, "We cannot put all the pressure on one player.
