Juan Soto announces when he expects to return to Mets lineup
New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto suffered a calf strain July 24.
Juan Soto, the New York Mets outfielder, announced his expected return to the lineup in September. Soto's first year with the Mets in 2025 was marked by some health issues, including two separate calf strains. This season, he played 84 games, hitting .283 with a .947 OPS and 21 home runs. Soto is on a deliberate running program and is confident in his recovery, expecting to return by September 11th.
This would allow him to participate in the Subway Series at Yankee Stadium, which requires playing at least 100 games. With Mark Vientos returning to the active roster, Soto may take the designated hitter role to avoid further injury.
