Juan Soto's Return Sparks Mets' Comeback

0:00On April 21st, the Mets are set to bring back Juan Soto from the injured list before their Wednesday matchup against the twins. According to MLB Networks John Heyman, this activation could light a fire under the team that's been missing his bat big time. The club hasn't confirmed it yet, but the timing lines up perfectly. Soto was scorching hot before going down, straining his right calf on April 3rd. In his eight games that year, the 27-year-old All-Star hits safely every time, slashing 355 over 412 over 516. With a Homer and two doubles, without him, the Mets started even at 4 and 4 after beating the Giants on April 3rd, then won their next three. But they've lost 11 straight scents, dipping into a tie for the worst record in baseball. Last season, Soto's first with the Mets, he played all 160 games, swiping an NL-leading 38 bags alongside 43 homers, and a major league best 107 walks. This return feels like a lifeline, as they try to turn things around, mid slump.
