Juan Soto Exits With Calf Soreness; Expected Back This Weekend

Mets star Juan Soto was removed from Thursday's 4-1 win over the Phillies in the eighth inning due to left calf soreness. Manager Andy Green described the move as precautionary following his recent All-Star appearance. Despite the scare, he is expected back for the weekend series. Soto remains a core roster piece amidst trade rumors and was recently featured in a Spider-Man campaign. Calf injuries have been a recurring concern for the Mets, affecting both Soto and Francisco Lindor.
