Mets left fielder Juan Soto has a "minor strain" in his right calf, he said after getting an MRI before Saturday's 9:05 game on SNY at the San Francisco Giants.
"Right now, it's just minor strain," Soto said. "Definitely, we're going to be going day by day and see how it feels. Definitely no decisions made yet. We're going to see how I wake up feeling the next couple days and go from there."
Tyrone Taylor replaced Soto in the first inning of Friday's 10-3 win over the Giants. Soto confirmed that he felt tightness in his calf while running from second to third base.
"When I stepped on the second base and I was like halfway to second and third, I felt some tightness in my calf, definitely," said Soto, who singled and subsequently went from first to third base on Bo Bichette's RBI knock that scored Francisco Lindor and put New York (4-4) up 1-0 on San Francisco (3-5). "I stopped and tried to stretch a little bit, but it was just getting more tight and tight."
Soto explained his next steps, adding that he is "positive" and feeling "really good" despite the MRI revealing a minor strain.
"Right now, we're just going to get treatment and make sure," Soto said. "We're going to test it, definitely, with the trainers in the training room. I don't think we're going to run or anything like that, but we're going to see how much strength I have and how much I can push off it."
The Mets close their four-game series at the Giants with Sunday's 4:05 p.m. finale. New York returns to Citi Field for this week's three-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks, starting with Tuesday's 7:10 p.m. opener.
"We will see, we will see," Soto said of his availability. "Like I said, we're going day to day. Today, we're going to see how we end up before the game, if I'm available or not, and then we're going to see tomorrow."
He is off to an otherwise hot start at the plate, slashing .355/.412/.516 with one home run and five RBI in eight games.
"I mean, injuries aren't good at all," Soto said. "So, yeah, it's kind of frustrating because you try to be out there. You try to put yourself in the best spot possible to be helping the team out there. But things happen. You've just got to take it like a man and keep moving forward."
