New York Mets slugger Juan Soto has been placed on the 10-day injured list because of a left calf strain. Soto was removed from Friday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers with the score tied at 1 in the sixth inning. After the game, interim manager Andy Green said Soto felt discomfort pushing off when running to second base. He had been nursing the nagging injury since returning from the All-Star break last week. Soto is hitting .283 with 21 homers, 52 RBIs and an NL-best .947 OPS in 84 games this season. He missed 15 games in April with a right calf strain. To replace Soto on the active roster, the Mets recalled infielder/outfielder Eric Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse.
