Mets Place Soto on IL, Call Up Mauricio

0:00On April 6th, the Mets just placed Juan Soto on the 10-day injured list with a right-calf strain, retroactive to April 4th, and called up Ronnie, Mauricio, to fill his spot. They're expecting a typical return in two to three weeks, right around the team's 9-game homestand later this month. It happened Friday night against the Giants when Soto strained his calf running from first to third on a single. The team hoped to dodge the IEL Stin, so he sat out Saturday and Sunday to test how he felt, but they pulled the trigger anyway. Soto's won a baseball's Ironman, playing at least 150 games every full season from 2019 to 2025. This marks his first injured list trip since April 2021, and fans are bummed but relieved it's early. Without him, the offense lit it up, dropping 24 runs across three straight wins, including the partial Friday game. That's a strong sign they can hang tough for now. The Mets will shuffle guys like Jared Young, who went three-for-three in left field Sunday, Brett Beatty moving around corners,
