Juan Soto Reinstated from Injured List; Boosts Mets in Return to Lineup

Juan Soto returned to the Mets' lineup on Wednesday after a 15-game absence due to a right calf strain. Serving as the designated hitter, Soto played a key role in a 3-2 victory over the Twins, helping New York snap a frustrating 12-game losing streak. Sidelined since early April, his return provides a significant offensive boost. To make room on the roster, the Mets optioned Hayden Senger to Triple-A. Manager Carlos Mendoza noted that Soto looked sharp and healthy in his first game back.
