Juan Soto was removed from the Mets’ game against the Cubs due to left side back tightness, with the team listing him as day-to-day following their 9-6 loss. Manager Carlos Mendoza adjusted the lineup, moving Jared Young to left field and bringing Mark Vientos to first base. Soto had earlier displayed discomfort during at-bats and was seen using a heating pad. Meanwhile, Francisco Lindor was playing potentially his last minor league rehab game, having been out since April with a calf injury.
