The Mets faced a setback in their 2026 season as Juan Soto exited their game against the Dodgers due to left calf tightness, with an MRI planned for evaluation. This follows Soto’s previous right calf injury that sidelined him for three weeks, while teammate Francisco Lindor also struggled with a calf injury, limiting their time together on the field. Despite his health issues, Soto has performed exceptionally well when active, boasting a .283/.408/.539 batting line and a 159 wRC+ in 359 plate appearances. Collectively, the duo has only contributed 3.7 fWAR and 3.4 bWAR this season, far below expectations.
