NEW YORK — The state of the Mets has gone from bad to worse.
With the Mets trailing the Cubs, 7-2, after four innings, Juan Soto was removed from the game before the top of the fifth inning. The Mets have yet to announce a reason for Soto's exit.
The Mets superstar outfielder was replaced in left field by Jared Young. Mark Vientos entered the game at first base.
It could be another brutal blow for the Mets, who are expecting to see Francisco Lindor (calf) and Christian Scott (hip) return later this week. Tyrone Taylor and Ronny Mauricio both played rehab games on Tuesday.
Jorge Polanco (Achillies tendinitis) and Luis Robert Jr. (herniated disc) are both participating in baseball activities with no concrete timetable for return from their injuries.
Soto, who missed about two weeks in early April with his own calf strain, is having one of the best offensive seasons in the National League. Entering Tuesday, Soto ranked second in OPS (.973), fifth in on-base percentage (.398) and seventh in home runs (17). He also entered the night with 38 RBI.
Check back for more updates on the status of Juan Soto after he exited Tuesday's game.
