Juan Soto Scratched From Sunday's Lineup Due to Illness

Juan Soto was a late scratch from the Mets' starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Marlins due to flu-like symptoms. His absence was felt as the Mets were shut out in a 4-0 loss, completing a three-game sweep by Miami. MJ Melendez replaced him as the designated hitter. The team is currently monitoring Soto's status for the upcoming week as they navigate his recovery from the illness.
