Soto Out Again as Mets Struggle

Juan Soto’s absence continues to sting the Mets, as he’s sidelined again with a lingering flu-like illness that’s swept through the roster. Manager Carlos Mendoza hoped for a pinch-hit role Sunday, but Soto’s fever and weakness dashed those plans. With Soto out, the offense — already struggling to score (just two runs in three games against the Marlins) — is left without its most explosive hitter. In his last ten games, Soto’s been on fire: six homers, ten RBIs, and an OPS of 1.342. His season stats remain elite: 10 homers, 21 RBIs, and a .949 OPS. While teammates battle a 24-hour bug, the Mets wait for Soto’s return — a critical piece if they’re to turn things around. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
