New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto is recovering from a calf injury and is progressing in his return routine at Citi Field. Multiple reports say he takes live batting practice, plays catch, and performs light running activities, including running the bases, ahead of the Mets’ upcoming game.
The outlets describe the same general steps in his rehab—live batting practice and on-field activities—while placing them in slightly different timeframes around the Mets–Brewers matchup. Yahoo Sports reports Soto takes live batting practice ahead of Wednesday’s game as he inches closer to a return. The New York Post similarly says he works his way back, adding details of him playing catch and running the bases before the Mets–Brewers game.
Fox Sports adds a different angle from a game situation, reporting that Soto is hit by a foul ball off his leg during his return appearance and is tended to by Mets manager Andy Green and a trainer. The reports collectively indicate the Mets are monitoring Soto’s health closely as he builds back toward full activity.
