Juan Soto is out of the New York Mets lineup again on Monday due to an illness, according to reports. The absence follows him being scratched from the lineup one day earlier, with the Mets continuing to adjust their batting order without him. The Mets’ offense has been struggling in recent games, including a stretch in which the team scored only two runs across a three-game sweep in Miami. With Soto unavailable for a second straight day, the Mets rely on other hitters to cover his spot while he recovers. The reports indicate his status remains tied to the illness that prompted the original scratch, but they do not provide further specifics about the nature of the condition or a clear return timetable. Soto’s continued absence affects both the Mets’ lineup configuration and their ability to generate offense during a difficult run.
