Soto's Calf Strain: Mets Eye Quick Return

0:00It's April 4th. This is MLB News today baseball coverage powered by AI. Juan Soto, the Metz Big Bet, tweaked his right calf mildly and sat out Saturday's lineup against the Giants at Oracle Park. This came right after he limped off in the first inning of New York's 10-3 win the night before. It happened while Soto hustled from first to third base after ripping a single, then chasing Boba Schett's hit. The 27-year-old switched to left field this season after sticking to right field in his first year with the Metz. Fans are bummed because Soto has been scorching hot early on, batting 0.355 with one homer, five RBIs, and a 0.928 OPS. Over the team's first eight games, that's the kind of start that gets a line of buzzing. No major updates yet on his timeline, but since it's just a mild strain, the Metz figure he'll miss minimal action. They're already eyeing his quick return to keep the momentum rolling. Soto's built like a tank, so expect him patrolling left field and mashing soon-stay locked
