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.
