Juan Soto Sitting for Second Straight Day With the Flu
New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for the second straight day due to the flu in Monday's series opener against the visiting Cincinnati Reds, according to MLB.com. Nick Morabito will make the start in left field at Citi Field and will bat seventh against Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo. Carson Benge is serving as the designated hitter for the MEts and will bat leadoff. Soto is still under the weather, but hopefully, he'll be ready to return at some point during this series early in the week against the Reds. Soto has been picking things up at the plate recently, going 14-for-37 (.378) with six home runs, 10 RBI, four stolen bases, and 11 runs scored in his last 10 games since May 14 to raise his season slash line to .294/.390/.559 with a .949 OPS. The 27-year-old four-time All-Star only has 10 homers on the year, but he also missed some time with a calf injury early on. When active, Soto is a must-start in all traditional fantasy formats.
