Juan Soto injury update: Mets star shares latest on return timeline after MRI confirms Grade 2 calf strain

Juan Soto suffered a Grade 2 left calf strain, confirmed by MRI, and was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Soto is optimistic about returning before the end of the 2026 season, but the Mets are consulting additional experts and have not set a timeline.

Soto had been playing through calf discomfort for some time and aggravated the injury during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Soto said he has no regrets about playing through pain, stating he wants to help his team win despite the Mets being 18 games below .500.

Soto missed 15 games earlier this season due a calf injury on his other leg.
