Juan Soto Pushing for Late-Season Return from Calf Strain

Mets outfielder Juan Soto is actively working toward a return to the field before the 2026 season concludes. Currently recovering from a left calf strain, Soto expressed his strong desire to rejoin the team, asking, 'Why not try to rejoin this team?' Soto, who had played at least 150 games in every full major league season prior to this year, admitted that his injury-filled campaign 'sucks' but remains determined to contribute for the remainder of the season.
