Mets Snap Slump, Soto Returns; Cubs Manager Criticizes Two-Way Player Rule

0:00It's April 21st, Moby News. Today starts now, AI powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. The Mets are deep in the slump right now, dropping 11 games in a row after getting swept by the Cubs. They head home tonight for a three-game series against the Twins, with Nolan McLean on the mound trying to snap that streak. Managers Carlos Mendoza says star-outfielder Juan Soto should return from his calf injury during this homestand, giving New York a big boost at City. Field. Over in Chicago, Cubs skipper Craig Council voiced frustration with the two-way player rule that lets teams carry an extra arm without accounting. Against their roster limit, he called it an offense-friendly setup that basically gives one squad special perks. The rule kicks in if a player logs 20 innings pitched and 20 games as a designated hitter or in the field, with at least three plate. Appearances in those games, either this year or the last two.
