Soto (left calf) goes on IL for 2nd time this season - MLB.com

What the report says

MLB.com reported that New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday because of a left calf strain that had been bothering him for more than a week. The move, made in New York, marks Soto’s second injured-list stint of the season, according to the MLB.com headline.

To fill the roster spot, the Mets recalled infielder Eric Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse. The available report does not include further detail on Soto’s recovery timeline, the severity of the strain beyond the injured-list designation, or whether the Mets expect him back when he is first eligible.

The transaction matters because Soto is one of the Mets’ central offensive players, and even a short absence can affect lineup construction, outfield depth and late-season roster planning. A 10-day injured-list placement requires a player to miss at least that minimum period, though calf injuries can vary in how quickly they respond depending on discomfort, mobility and risk of aggravation.

With the full MLB.com article text unavailable, this digest is limited to the roster move and basic context reported in the snippet. Any additional updates on Soto’s status, Wagaman’s role or the club’s next steps would need to come from subsequent Mets or MLB.com reporting.
