Soto's Early-Season Calf Injury Delayed His 2026 Start

The Mets star missed significant time in April with a calf injury but has since returned and is playing at an MVP level.

Juan Soto sustained a calf injury early in the 2026 season that kept him sidelined for most of April. After returning, he took time to find his footing before breaking out with some of the best play of his career in recent weeks. His resurgence has been a bright spot for a Mets team that has otherwise struggled offensively and with injuries across the roster.
