Juan Soto placed on injured list with Grade 2 calf strain for Mets
Summary

Juan Soto of the New York Mets has been placed on the injured list due to a Grade 2 calf strain. This injury follows earlier calf issues that sidelined him for 15 games beginning in April. Interim manager Andy Green expressed frustration over Soto's continued health troubles during a difficult season, where the Mets hold a record of 43-61. Despite efforts to manage Soto's workload, he experienced pain while running against the Los Angeles Dodgers and exited the game early. An MRI confirmed the severity of the injury, and Soto is expected to be out for four to six weeks, complicating his return timeline.
