Mets defeat Astros 6-2 as Soto returns from injury list

The New York Mets accomplished a 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros at Citi Field on August 29, 2026. Juan Soto marked his return from the injured list by driving in a run, while Jared Young contributed with three hits and three RBIs. Soto experienced a scare when he fouled a ball off his leg but was cleared to continue playing, with plans to gradually return to the field. The Mets also placed Luis Robert Jr. on outright waivers after unsuccessful trade attempts due to his injury history, and they await the return of Devin Williams, who is starting his throwing progression.
