Soto Eyes Return Despite Calf Strain | New York Mets News

Juan Soto is staying optimistic he’ll return this season despite a Grade 2 calf strain that’s sidelined him since July—potentially pushing his comeback to late August. The Mets are still evaluating his timeline, but Soto insists he’s ready to play again. This injury, which followed earlier discomfort and reduced playing time, marks his longest absence yet this year—and adds to a string of nagging issues including foot and back problems. Before the injury, he was having a breakout season, earning All-Star honors and anchoring a team out of playoff contention. With his massive 15-year, $765 million contract still on the books, Soto’s recovery is a high-stakes chapter in one of the most lucrative deals in sports history.
