Soto Activated as Mets Bring Star Back from IL
The Mets activated Juan Soto from the 10-day injured list after a left calf strain, returning after about a month. Infielder Eric Wagaman was optioned to Triple-A in the corresponding move. Soto is expected to primarily serve as the designated hitter to protect his legs in the final month, and he remains a standout producer (/.283/.408/.539 with 21 homers across 359 plate appearances) as New York eyes the rest of the season.
