Mets Put Juan Soto on 10-Day IL With Left Calf Strain

Soto’s placement removes the team’s lone All-Star from the lineup and could hasten short-term roster moves before the Aug. 3 trade deadline.

Overview

  • The Mets placed Juan Soto on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, July 25, after he exited Friday’s game at Citi Field with left calf soreness and was scheduled for imaging.
  • Soto has had recurring calf trouble this season, including a right-calf IL stint in April and left-calf discomfort since mid-July that limited him to DH duty.
  • New York recalled Eric Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse to fill the roster spot and adjusted the lineup with Francisco Lindor moving into the No. 2 hole.
  • The injury removes the Mets’ best offensive player from the lineup, forcing the club to both cover production in the short term and audition players who could factor into trade discussions.
  • With the Aug. 3 non‑waiver trade deadline approaching, the Mets’ 43-61 record combined with injuries and uneven veteran pitching performance has lowered some trade returns and sharpened seller considerations.
