Juan Soto Injured, Mets Shuffle Outfield

0:00It's April 7th, from the locker room to your ears. This is New York Metz News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The New York Metz just put Juan Soto on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain from their 10-to-3 win over the San Francisco Giants last Friday. The 27-year-old outfielder got hurt during that game, and the team is not taking any chances. Manager Carlos Mendoza broke it down, saying they want to play it safe this early in the 2026 season. No more day-to-day drama or testing his limits. He needs full recovery time to avoid bigger issues down the line. Soto was on fire before this, hitting 355 with a 412 on-base percentage over 8 games, including 11 hits, 1 homer, and 5 RBI's. Fans and the squad feel the hit, but his quick start had the Metz buzzing in the National League East Race. For now, he's sticking a treatment and indoor workouts, staring clear of baseball activities until the pain vanishes completely.
