Juan Soto Homers in Return to Mets Lineup After Recovering From Illness

Juan Soto returned to the New York Mets' lineup Tuesday after recovering from an illness, starting at designated hitter and batting third against the Cincinnati Reds. Soto made an immediate impact, hitting a two-run home run despite the team's 7-2 loss. His return was part of a broader roster shakeup that included the activation of A.J. Minter and Jared Young. Soto's presence provides a much-needed boost to the Mets' offense as they navigate a challenging stretch of the season.
