Juan Soto's Calf Strain: Mets Cautious

0:00On April 5, New York med star Juan Soto got hit with a right calf strain diagnosis after an MRI on Saturday. The right-fielder tweaked it Friday night while dashing from first to third base during their 10-3 blowout win over the San Francisco Giants. Both Soto and manager Carlos Mendoza were caught off guard that the imaging showed just a mild issue. Soto mentioned feeling way better than expected, especially after how rough it seemed right after the play. Mendoza spotted Soto moving around the clubhouse like nothing major was wrong before Saturday's match-up. The team is playing at extra safe with that tricky calf spot, but likes his upbeat vibe and feedback. They're taken a day-by-day, no rush on decisions like the injured list yet. In his first eight games this season, Soto's slashing 355 with one homer and five ribbies on a massive $765 million. $15-year contract. The meds will keep eyes on how he bounces back this week, hoping their slugger stays in the lineup for the long haul.
