Juan Soto Fantasy Stats

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto will play left field for the team in 2026, according to president of baseball operations David Stearns. The 4x All-Star played 157 games in right field for the Mets last year, but will make the transition to left, which is the same position he played when he broke in with the Nationals and during his time with the Padres in 2023. The 27-year-old is coming off another fantastic season in which he amassed a .263-43-105-120-38 stat line with a .390 wOBA and 156 wRC+. The Dominican is one of the safest choices atop draft boards, currently going around pick No. 4 in most leagues.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto wasn't able to lead the team to a playoff appearance in his first year in Queens, but he still managed to have an extremely productive season for fantasy managers. Soto hit .263/.396/.525 with a .921 OPS, career-high 43 home runs, 105 RBI, 120 runs scored, and a career-best 38 stolen bases in 160 games played. The 27-year-old Dominican also led the league in walks (127) for the fourth time in his career and on-base percentage (.396) for the third time in his eight-year MLB career. Soto has now cleared the fences 40-plus times each of the last two years, and his 38 stolen bases tied for fourth in the National League. Fantasy managers should be pretty confident that Soto will be an elite contributor across the board, although you should expect regression in the stolen base department. Soto's previous high in steals is 12. RotoBaller has Soto ranked as the No. 4 overall player for upcoming drafts, behind only Shohei Ohtani (DH), Aaron Judge, and Bobby Witt Jr.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto crushed his 40th home run of the season in a 3-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Along with his 414-foot solo shot, Soto singled during a 2-for-5 day. The Mets have been in free-fall mode and may miss the playoffs despite Soto's best efforts to keep the team afloat in September. He has gone 17-for-47 (.361) with five homers, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 12 games this month. In his first season as a Met, the 26-year-old superstar has slashed a superb .264/.398/.529 with 97 RBI, 113 runs, and a shocking 32 steals. Soto entered 2025 with a career high of 12 SBs, but he now has the first 40-30 season of his remarkable career.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto did a little bit of everything during Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. He started his day off by getting hit by a pitch in the first inning. He would walk in the second frame, steal second base, and score a run. Soto took right-hander Edward Cabrera deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning. He would go yard again in the sixth inning, but this time it was a two-run home run. Soto finished his day 2-for-2 with two homers, three RBI, two steals, and two walks in the loss on Saturday. He has 35 homers, 84 RBI, and 24 steals on the season.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto reached base five times in a 3-for-4 effort during Friday's 12-7 win over the Braves, including two walks, a home run, four RBI, and two runs scored. It was his seventh home run in his last 14 games, now up to 32 on the year, and he's now slashing .251/.386/.500 with a .377 wOBA and 147 wRC+ through 126 games. He'll face off with the Braves' newly acquired Cal Quantrill on Saturday, who brings a 5.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and a lowly 6.73 K/9 into the contest. Soto is also 1-for-2 with a walk against the righty, and with the Mets having one of the highest implied run totals on the board Saturday, Soto should once again be a strong DFS option.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (foot) is back in right field and will bat third in the lineup against the visiting San Francisco Giants and left-hander Robbie Ray at Citi Field. Soto was pulled from the game on Tuesday in San Diego against the Padres after fouling a ball off his foot, and he was also held out of the series finale on Wednesday as a precaution. After a scheduled day off on Thursday, the 26-year-old All-Star is back in action for the weekend. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into starting lineups everywhere despite the lefty-lefty matchup. In 22 career at-bats against Ray, Soto is hitting .273 with a home run and two RBI. The Dominican superstar is hitting under .250 on the year and struggled to a .210 average in July, but he remains a must-start in fantasy when active and has provided 25 homers, 62 RBI, 75 runs and 15 steals.

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said he anticipates outfielder Juan Soto (foot) to return to the Mets lineup on Friday versus the San Francisco Giants. "I think we dodged a bullet here," Mendoza said, referring to the bruised left foot Soto suffered in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates. X-rays on his foot came back negative. However, fractures may not be seen until a few days later due to inflammation. Given the rest, the Mets are giving Soto Wednesday, and with the team having an off day Thursday, Soto is able to have 72 hours off his feet. Soto have been somewhat slumping in July hitting only .210 with five home runs, 15 RBI and six stolen bases. Tyrone Taylor has benefited with more playing time with Soto out.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (foot) will sit out for the series finale against his former team, the San Diego Padres, on Wednesday. It will be the second time that Soto hasn't started in his first year with the Mets, but the team is going to give him a breather after he was pulled from Tuesday's loss early due to a left-foot contusion after he was hit by a pitch in the fourth inning. Jeff McNeil will start in right field and will bat fifth on Wednesday against Padres right-hander Yu Darvish. X-rays came back negative for any fractures on Soto's foot, so there's probably a good chance he'll be back for Friday's series opener against the San Francisco Giants at Citi Field after a scheduled day off on Thursday. McNeil has faced Darvish 17 times in his career and is hitting just .118 with a .564 OPS with one home run and four RBI. Check back on Friday to see if Soto is back in action. UPDATE: The Mets hope that Soto will return on Friday, and there's even a chance he could pinch hit on Wednesday, depending on how he feels. "I think we dodged a bullet here," manager Carlos Mendoza said.

Soto fouled a ball off his foot in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the San Diego Padres. Soto was able to finish the at-bat, but was eventually replaced by Tyrone Taylor once the Mets went out to play the bottom half of the inning. The Mets may play it safe with Soto and sit him on Wednesday, given that an off day is already scheduled for Thursday. On the season, Soto is currently slashing .248/.382/.488 with 25 home runs, 62 RBI, 15 stolen bases, and 75 runs scored in 379 at-bats. He remains a top outfield option for fantasy managers even with his subpar results compared to Soto's standards.
