Juan Soto Doesn't Have Firm Date for a Return
The New York Mets still expect All-Star outfielder Juan Soto (calf) to return from the 10-day injured list during their upcoming homestand, which begins Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins and runs through next Thursday, April 30, but they don't have an exact date in mind for the slugger's return, according to Max Ralph of MLB.com. "Yes, he's still on track," manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday. "Not sure which day, but as of right now, the plan is for him to start playing for us at some point in the next homestand." The Mets, losers of 11 games in a row, could really use Soto's bat back in the lineup. The 27-year-old Dominican began a running progression last Tuesday, but the team now wants to see him increase the intensity of his running program while adding elements such as side-to-side shuffling and starting/stopping. Friday would represent the three-week mark from when Soto originally went on the IL. Soto was hitting a cool .355/.412/.516 with a homer and two doubles before his injury. Without him, the Mets have scored just 1.9 runs per game, including three scoreless outings.
