Mets outfielder Juan Soto leaves Friday night’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers with left calf soreness. Multiple outlets report that Soto exits in the sixth inning and that the Mets removed him from the lineup due to the issue. One report says he exits with the injury status affecting his availability in left field, and that he has been used as the designated hitter in his previous two games while managing the calf problem. The Athletic and other sources note that Soto has dealt with the calf issue since his first game back from the All-Star break and that it has lingered for some time. Several reports add that Soto will undergo imaging, including an MRI, to evaluate the condition further. In the game itself, the Dodgers win 4–2, with Shohei Ohtani driving in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning on a sacrifice fly after Soto’s early exit. The Mets’ next steps are tied to the results of the scheduled imaging and decisions on Soto’s role moving forward.
