The New York Mets have placed Juan Soto on the 10-day injured list due to a left calf strain. This injury is a recurrence of a previous issue that sidelined him for three weeks earlier this season. Soto experienced calf soreness during the game against the Milwaukee Brewers on July 20, replaced by Jorge Polanco as designated hitter. The Mets have recalled Eric Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse to fill Soto's spot on the roster. As the trade deadline approaches, Soto’s absence may facilitate auditions for other players like Polanco and Luis Robert Jr. The Mets face the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 26.
