Soto's Return Sparks Mets' Comeback Hopes

0:00It's April 22nd. You're listening to New York meds news today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. The meds finally got a spark of hope amid their brutal 11-game losing streak, and it came from Juan Soto gearing up for a comeback. The superstar outfielder sidelines his early April with a right-calf strain, crushed a full workout Monday, sprinting bases and testing every, angle. Manager Carlos Mendoza says, expect him back Wednesday, barring any hiccups. For the injury on April 3, Soto was on fire, hitting 355 with a 928 OPS in just 8 games. The meds hovered near 500 then, even winning three straight without him at first. But since, they've been outscored 62-19, with the lineup going ice cold. Mendoza's keeping it real. No piling all the pressure on Soto, even if his bat lights up the order. The guys a game changer, fresh off third in NLNBP voting last year, but the team has talent that's just slumping hard right now.

1:01They're playing it smart with his return. No rehab needed, but they'll manage his workload tight. Maybe DH Wednesday, ease him into the outfield, and build days off to avoid re-injury. Rotation, bullpin, everything's faltering, and the skippers feeling the heat. Soto stepping back in could flip the script, but the meds need the whole squad to wake up and turn this skid into a surge before it's too late.
