Juan Soto Returns to Lineup with Home Run After Injury Scare

Juan Soto returned to the Mets' lineup as the designated hitter Thursday, less than 24 hours after an ankle injury scare. X-rays were negative, and Soto snapped a recent offensive funk by hitting a home run in the win over the Tigers. While the team monitors his status as day-to-day, his return provides a major boost. Soto is now looking to help the Mets build momentum as they prepare for a high-stakes Subway Series against the struggling New York Yankees.
