Mets Place Juan Soto on 10-Day IL With Calf Strain as Bench Delivers

New York is leaning on depth during a two- to three-week gap.

Overview

  • Juan Soto, who strained his right calf on Friday in San Francisco, was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday and is expected to miss about two to three weeks, with the move retroactive to Saturday.
  • Soto underwent an MRI on Saturday and said the sensation matched a 2022 calf issue, a notable setback for a four-time All-Star who rarely lands on the IL.
  • The Mets recalled infielder Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse as the roster replacement for Soto.
  • Reserve hitters powered wins after Soto exited, with Tyrone Taylor’s pinch-hit three-run homer, Jared Young’s 3-for-3 start in left, and Luis Torrens’ go-ahead pinch-double helping New York finish the seven-game trip 4-3.
  • The Mets shifted first pitch for Tuesday and Wednesday vs. the Diamondbacks at Citi Field to 4:10 p.m. ET because of cold, windy forecasts.
