Return Of Dynamic Soto, Lindor Hitting Could Fuel New York Mets’ Surge

Juan Soto is expected to return after the Mets averaged 2.64 runs per game without him during an 11-game losing streak.

  • The New York Mets expect to activate Juan Soto for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins, manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday. Soto has not played since suffering a right calf strain on April 3.

  • Christian Scott will be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to start Thursday against the Twins, marking his first action since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2024.
  • Mendoza plans to alternate Soto between designated hitter and left field in his first two games, stating, "We're not going to play him back-to-back 18 innings."
  • While Soto's return offers hope, the club faces broader challenges with many underperforming players. Mendoza cautioned, "We cannot put all the pressure on one player.
