Mets Star Juan Soto Placed on Injured List

New York Mets slugger Juan Soto was placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 left calf strain, dealing a major blow to the struggling team.

Soto, who missed 15 games earlier this season with a right calf strain, exited Friday’s game with discomfort.

The injury raises questions about the Mets’ training program, as Francisco Lindor also suffered a calf injury and Jorge Polanco an Achilles issue.

With the trade deadline approaching, the Mets face pressure to fix everything that’s wrong, and Soto’s absence could accelerate a potential sell-off.
