Anonymous
Juan Soto returned to action for the New York Mets on Sunday after missing time on the injured list since July 25 with a left calf strain. The superstar outfielder made an immediate impact, delivering the game-winning hit in the Mets' 6-2 victory over the Astros, according to Yahoo Sports.
The Mets are being cautious with their $765 million signing as he deals with a lower-grade calf strain. Interim manager Andy Green praised Soto's hard work and determination to return. Soto had pledged he would be back before the 2026 season ended, APP.com reported.
Soto Powers Mets Past Astros in Return
Soto wasted no time making his presence felt after his stint on the injured list. His game-winning hit powered the Mets to a 6-2 win over Houston. The hit showed he still has his competitive edge despite the calf injury keeping him sidelined for over a week.
Managing Soto's Workload Down the Stretch
The Mets are taking a measured approach with Soto's return. His $765 million contract means the team cannot afford another injury. A lower-grade calf strain on his other leg adds complexity to how the team uses him in the remaining games. The club will likely limit his playing time early.
Green Applauds Soto's Drive and Dedication
Interim manager Andy Green highlighted Soto's commitment to returning to the field. Green's praise for the outfielder's hard work underscores how important Soto is to the Mets' playoff hopes. Despite the injuries, Soto showed he is determined to help the team win down the stretch.
Soto's Promise to Return Before Season's End
Before his return, Soto had pledged to the team and fans that he would be back before the 2026 season ended, Yahoo Sports reported. He kept his word by playing just days after landing on the injured list. His swift return shows his commitment to finishing strong with the Mets.
