Juan Soto has been placed on the 10-day injured list after an MRI revealed a Grade 2 calf strain. The New York Mets outfielder has dealt with calf discomfort since the beginning of the second half and tried to push through it but ultimately couldn't play against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Interim manager Andy Green expressed disappointment at losing Soto, who has been a significant contributor to the team's lineup. Recovery from this injury is expected to take four to six weeks, complicating the Mets' chances for the remainder of the season as they sit at the bottom of the NL East with a record of 44-62.

- •Mets currently have a record of 44-62, sitting last in the NL East.
- •Recovery for Soto may extend into September.

"“I don’t remember the last time I was twice on the IL in one year,” the $765 million New York Mets star, who usually logs 150+ games per season, said. That is certainly not good news for the Mets, given that Bo Bichette has regressed significantly, while even Francisco Lindor has battled injuries and struggled to put up strong numbers.
