Juan Soto Fantasy Stats

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (calf), who is on the 10-day injured list with a right-calf strain, has been swinging a bat indoors and playing catch, but he's not close to starting a running program, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Soto will continue to take part in light baseball activities when he heals. It's not a very serious calf injury, but the All-Star outfielder won't be back immediately when he's eligible to return from the 10-day IL. The four-time All-Star and six-time Silver Slugger winner is an absolute must-stash in all fantasy leagues as a five-category contributor. Soto was off to a strong start before his injury, too, going 11-for-31 (.355) at the plate with a homer, two doubles, five RBI, three runs scored, three walks, and six strikeouts in eight games played. Mark Vientos should continue to see his playing time rise as long as Soto remains on the shelf.

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said on Tuesday that outfielder Juan Soto (calf) will be doing treatment and exercises but won't do any baseball activity until the soreness in his calf subsides, according to Laura Albanese of Newsday. "We wanted to play it safe," said Mendoza. Soto is out two to three weeks with a right-calf strain that he suffered in the win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday. The good news is that the 27-year-old's injury is considered pretty minor. Obviously, he should be stashed in an injured list spot in all fantasy baseball formats. In the meantime, Jared Young, Brett Baty, and Tyrone Taylor are all candidates to see playing time in left field while Soto recovers. Soto, a four-time All-Star, was off to a hot start offensively, too, going 11-for-31 (.355) with a homer, five RBI, and three runs scored in eight games before getting injured.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (calf) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 4. According to an announcement from the team, he has been diagnosed with a right calf strain, which typically has a return-to-play timeline of two to three weeks. Soto was off to an unsurprisingly strong start this season, slashing .355/.412/.516 with one home run and five RBI across eight games. He's one of the best pure hitters in baseball, producing at least 143 wRC+ in each of his nine MLB campaigns so far. The 27-year-old ranks as the #2 outfielder in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings, so managers will be excited for his return to action later this month. In the meantime, we expect Jared Young and Brett Baty to handle more outfield reps in his absence.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (right calf strain) remains absent from the lineup for Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Soto suffered the injury on Friday and has been sidelined throughout the weekend. He's not expected to land on the injured list, but there hasn't been an exact timetable for his return. Soto is one of the best hitters in baseball, so the Mets would love to get him back in the lineup, but they also won't rush him back before he's ready. Through eight games this year, the 27-year-old owns a .355/.412/.516 slash line with one home run, five RBI, and 165 wRC+. Jared Young has taken over as the Mets' left fielder in Soto's absence.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (groin) had an MRI on Saturday, which revealed a minor groin strain. Soto is considered day-to-day, and no decision has been made yet on whether he will be placed on the injured list. "We're going to see how I wake up the next couple of days and take it from there," said Soto. The 27-year-old exited Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants early in the first inning with calf tightness. He was off to a hot start this season, slashing .355/.412/.516 with a home run, five RBI, and three runs over eight games. According to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, Soto will be further evaluated on Tuesday when the Mets return to Citi Field; an IL decision is still on the table. Tyrone Taylor, Carson Benge, and Brett Baty should see an uptick in at-bats with Soto sidelined.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (calf) is scheduled to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the calf injury he suffered on Friday against the San Francisco Giants, according to John Harper of SNY. Manager Carlos Mendoza admitted that he was "concerned" about the 27-year-old's injury but would wait for the MRI results before divulging further. Soto has appeared in seven games this season, slashing .355/.412/.516 with one home run, five RBI, an 8.8% walk rate, a 17.6% strikeout rate, and 162 wRC+. He has been hitting out of the No. 2 spot, but if the injury is as serious as Mendoza feared, he could be sidelined for at least Saturday's contest against the Giants. If so, we could see more playing time for Carson Benge and Tyrone Taylor.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (calf) was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Soto reached on base with a single in the first inning. However, the superstar slugger appeared to have tweaked his right calf while running the bases later that inning. The severity of the issue is unknown right now, but Soto will likely undergo further testing. For the moment, fantasy managers should consider Soto as day-to-day. Tyrone Taylor took over in left field on Friday and could be in line for a few starts, assuming Soto misses time.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto is the No. 2 outfielder in the RotoBaller rankings, and he looks ready to live up to lofty expectations in his second season with the Mets. He is worth an early first-round pick since he consistently contributes across the board in multiple categories. Last year, he had a .263/.396/.525 triple-slash with a .390 wOBA, 43 homers, 120 runs scored, and 105 RBI. He also added even more value by setting a new career high with 38 stolen bases. In his first seven seasons in the majors, he had never stolen more than 12 bases. With such well-rounded production and a secure spot near the top of one of the better lineups in the National League, he's an elite play. He had a slow spring training before the World Baseball Classic, but he went 6-for-23 (.261) with a pair of homers for the Dominican Republic.

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.
