Mets' Juan Soto: Receiving first day off
Rotowire
Soto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
After starting in each of the Mets' first 43 games of the season, Soto will hit the bench in what appears to be a planned rest day. With the Mets off Thursday, Soto will effectively get two days to rest up before he returns to The Bronx for a three-game series against his former Yankees squad this weekend. Jose Azocar will replace Soto in right field in the series finale versus Pittsburgh.
Soto went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Friday's win over the Cubs.
The $765 million man had something of a quiet start to his tenure with the Mets, but Soto is catching fire in May. Five of his eight homers on the season have come in eight games this month, including a solo shot off Jameson Taillon in the fourth inning Friday, and over that stretch Soto is batting .367 (11-for-30) with seven RBI, nine runs and a 7:5 BB:K.
Soto went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and three total RBI in Wednesday's 7-1 win over Arizona.
Soto snapped a scoreless tie in the sixth inning with a 427-foot blast off Merrill Kelly before launching a second solo shot off lefty Jalen Beeks in the eighth. Soto would then cap the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. It's the second multi-homer game this year for Soto (both coming against Arizona), and he's up to seven long balls this season. He's gone 9-for-26 (.346) with six extra-base hits in his last seven contests, boosting his season slash line to .261/.385/.478 with 17 RBI, 29 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases across 169 plate appearances.
Soto went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Soto accounted for all of the Mets' offense in Thursday's defeat. He got New York on the board with an opposite-field blast off Zac Gallen in the sixth inning before smacking a second homer, his fifth of the year, off Kevin Ginkel in the eighth. It's certainly a positive sign for Soto, who'd gone 0-for-7 in the first two games of the series. The star outfielder is now slashing .252/.379/.443 with 23 runs scored, 14 RBI and a pair of stolen bases through 140 plate appearances this year.

Mets' Juan Soto: Second straight two-hit game
Rotowire
Soto went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored Monday in the Mets' 19-5 win over the Nationals.
After turning in his second straight two-hit performance, Soto is now slashing .257/.378/.410 over 127 plate appearances. Though he's been an above-average performer with a 124 wRC+ and more walks (21) than strikeouts (19) through his first 29 games with the Mets, Soto's counting totals (three home runs, two steals, 21 runs and 12 RBI) have been somewhat disappointing relative to what his investors expected on draft day. That said, Soto has a long track record of elite production in the big leagues and doesn't have any major red flags in his underlying hitting metrics early on this season, so fantasy managers should expect his home-run output and batting average to pick up as the weather warms.
Soto went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals.
Soto notched a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the third, a single in the fifth and a walk in the seventh inning before adding a two-RBI double in the eighth. The outfielder has notched back-to-back multi-hit performances after going nine straight games without one. Soto is now batting .256 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases over 22 contests this season.
Soto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Twins.
Monday marked just the second long ball of the season for Soto, who got his first hit of the year with a runner in scoring position on a 405-foot shot to center field in the seventh inning. Despite what seems to be a quiet start by the perennial All-Star's lofty standards, Soto is slashing a respectable .250/.400/.429 with four doubles, six RBI, one stolen base and 14 walks over 70 plate appearances (16 games) so far.
