Surgeon Discusses Mets’ Caution with Juan Soto’s Calf Strain

As reported by ESPN, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton suffered an Achilles tear while playing through a calf strain, raising concerns about similar risks for athletes like the New York Mets’ Juan Soto, who is currently on the 10-day injured list due to a right calf strain. Dr. Deepak Chona emphasizes caution in Soto’s return, noting that he is only 27 and this is his first calf strain, reducing his reinjury risk. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza indicates they won’t rush Soto back, as he could miss up to three weeks. The Mets are performing well, which may allow for a conservative approach to his recovery timeline.
