Overview
- The MRI on Saturday showed a minor strain in his right calf, and the Mets listed him day-to-day without placing him on the injured list.
- New York plans a fresh evaluation after 48–72 hours at Citi Field on Tuesday, with a short 10-day IL move still on the table and eligible to be backdated.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza called the calf a tricky area and said the club will be very careful after seeing Soto move well in the clubhouse.
- Soto left Friday’s win in San Francisco while running the bases in the first inning, and he has not played since.
- If he sits, the Mets expect Brett Baty to cover most left-field innings with Tyrone Taylor in support, and Mark Vientos could pick up more time at first base or DH.
