Soto's Speed Snags: Mets Star's Calf Injury

0:00On April 4th, Juan Soto lit up his first season with the Mets, smashing a career-high 30 home runs and posting a 0.921 on-base plus. Slugging percentage. The big twist was his speed, swiping 38 bases. His personal best for a guy no more for patience at the plate than blazing the bases. That all hit a snack Friday night against San Francisco. Soto tried stretching a single into a triple, but pulled up lame going first to third. Mets and teammates were stunned, since his base running had been a highlight all year. Turning him from slugger to sneaky threat on the pass. Latest word from reports points to right calf tightness as the culprit. He got yanked right away, with Tyrone Taylor pinch running for him less than one in and in. Mets brass will watch close over the weekend, hoping this doesn't slow down their star sluggers' roll heading into the stretch. Team coverage, powered by AI.
