Juan Soto Out With Back Tightness

Mets’ star Juan Soto is sidelined again, this time with left side back tightness, forcing his exit mid-game against the Cubs. Though he played defense briefly, he was visibly struggling at the plate and later seen with a heating pad — signaling this isn’t a quick fix. Soto’s been the Mets’ offensive engine all season, slashing .299/.400/.965 with 17 homers. Losing him, even temporarily, could be devastating. His previous three-week absence due to a calf injury adds to the concern. Manager Carlos Mendoza will provide an update post-game, but fans are already bracing for the worst.
