Juan Soto Returns to Mets Lineup After Left Calf Strain
Soto is back ahead of his estimated recovery window and will serve primarily as DH as New York manages his workload down the stretch.
The Mets officially activated Juan Soto from the 10-day injured list, ending a stint that began July 25 due to left calf soreness. He returned faster than the projected 4-to-6 week timeline and did not require a minor league rehab assignment. The team plans to use him mainly as a designated hitter to protect his legs after he also dealt with a right calf strain earlier in April. Soto carries a .283/.408/.539 slash line with 21 home runs over 359 plate appearances this season.
