Overview

  • Soto fouled a 0-2 pitch off his right foot in the fourth inning at Petco Park and left the game with a diagnosed foot contusion
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed post-game X-rays were negative and classified Soto as day-to-day
  • Soto expressed confidence that reducing the swelling will allow him to rejoin the lineup without extended absence
  • The 26-year-old has played in all but one of the Mets’ 108 games this season and has not been on the injured list since 2021
  • His availability will be closely watched as New York pursues the NL East crown and prepares for the August trade deadline
