Homers in Multi-Hit Game and Nears Return to Outfield Duty

Juan Soto delivered a strong offensive performance Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double against the Nationals. However, he was later robbed of another home run by a spectacular catch from James Wood. Soto has been dealing with forearm issues, but manager Carlos Mendoza indicated he could return to playing the outfield as soon as this weekend's series against the Angels. He remains a vital contributor for the Mets as they navigate early-season divisional matchups.
