NEW YORK – New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto is projected to miss two to three weeks because of a strained right calf.
New York put the four-time All-Star on the 10-day injured list Monday, a move retroactive to Saturday. The Mets said the typical timeframe for a return to play for this type of injury is about two to three weeks.
