Juan Soto Set To Return To Mets On Wednesday

With the early-season spiraling, the New York Mets are set to have Juan Soto in the lineup Wednesday.

The superstar left fielder will be activated from the 10-day injured list before Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins, MLB.com's Anthony reported Tuesday. Soto has been out since straining his right calf April 3 and going on the IL three days later.

With the offense struggling and the Mets taking an 11-game losing streak into Tuesday's series opening vs. the Twins, Soto will be a much-needed bat in the lineup. He was slashing .355/.412/.516 with one homer and five RBIs in eight games. Soto hit safely in each of the eight games in which he appeared.

The Mets will have to make a move to create room on the 26-man roster for Soto.
