Overview
- Soto is “progressing as we would expect,” Mets president David Stearns said, with no date set for his next rehab steps.
- He has been swinging and playing catch indoors but has not started a running program as the team keeps the load light.
- He went on the 10-day injured list on April 4 after straining his right calf while running the bases the night before in San Francisco.
- Team officials expect a roughly two-to-three-week absence and stress a cautious plan to reduce the risk of a setback common with calf strains.
- New York has filled left field with Ronny Mauricio, Carson Benge, Brett Baty and Tyrone Taylor, and has kept winning behind Mauricio’s walk-off hit.
