Juan Soto Dealing With Forearm Tightness, Serving as DH on Tuesday
New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (forearm) reported forearm tightness on Friday, manager Carlos Mendoza told Jorge Castillo of ESPN. The skipper said that Soto had an MRI exam on Tuesday, and his arm is structurally sound. Mendoza is hoping that Soto can play the field "in the next few days." Since coming off the 10-day injured list due to a calf strain, the 27-year-old Dominican has not played the field. Soto is the DH again on Tuesday and will hit second for the contest against the visiting Washington Nationals and right-hander Zack Littell. In five games since returning from the IL, Soto has gone 3-for-15 (.200) with no RBI, no runs scored, six walks, and two strikeouts. Overall in 13 games played in 2026, the four-time All-Star has hit a cool .304 (14-for-46) with a homer, five RBI, and three runs scored. Soto is hitting .167 in six career at-bats against Littell, but that shouldn't deter fantasy managers in any formats from starting him during Tuesday's slate of games.
