Mets' Juan Soto (calf tightness) pulled in 1st inning vs. Giants
Apr 2, 2026; San Francisco, California, USA; New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (22) reacts after scoring a run on an RBI double hit by infielder Bo Bichette (19) against the San Francisco Giants during the first inning at Oracle Park. Mandatory Credit: Robert Edwards-Imagn Images New York Mets star outfielder Juan Soto was removed from Friday's game at the San Francisco Giants with right calf tightness.
After reaching on a single, Soto went first to third on a Bo Bichette single, appearing to grimace as he pulled up on third base. He remained in the game and was thrown out at home as part of a double play. Tyrone Taylor replaced him in left field.
Soto, 27, is in the second year of a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million contract he signed in December 2024. He's hitting .354 with one homer and five RBIs in eight games this season after posting a .263 average with 43 home runs in his first season with the Mets.
Soto hasn't been placed on the injured list since 2021. He's never played less than 150 games in any of his six full seasons at the major league level.
