Juan Soto's Calf Strain: Mets' Lineup Adapts

0:00On April 7th, Juan Soto, the med superstar outfielder, got sidelined with right calf tightness during Friday's game against the Giants. He tweaked it, running the bases from first to third, and had to leave early. On Monday, the team put him on the injured list with a right calf strain, expecting him back in two to three weeks. Earlier this week, the meds hoped a couple days off would fix it, but no dice. Soto's got that Iron Man streak, missing just five games over the last five seasons combined. Last year, he smashed 43 home runs, and swiped 38 bags in his first med season, and he was scorching hot this year at three. 55, with a homer, and eight games. Meds fans are gutted. This guy is a lineup anchor, and now they're down a key bat with a 164 weighted runs created plus. The team feels the hit bad, especially early in the season, when every game is aggrined. To fill the gap, they called up Ronnie Mauricio from Triple A, and Brett Beatty should lock down left field regularly. They'll lean heavy on Tyrone Taylor and rookie Carson Bench to step up big time.

1:02It's a low-grade strain, which is the best news possible since calf issues can drag on forever. Soto's on track for a full bounce back soon, keeping the meds rolling strong once he swing you again. That wraps New York meds news today, brought to you with AI.
