New York Mets slugger Juan Soto left Friday night’s 10-3 win over the San Francisco Giants in the first inning with right calf tightness. He is scheduled for an MRI on Saturday, and manager Carlos Mendoza says the team is obviously concerned. Soto singled in the first and appeared to slow up while going first to third on Bo Bichette’s run-scoring single. He was forced out at home when Brett Baty grounded into a 1-2-3 double play, and Tyrone Taylor replaced Soto in left field for the bottom of the inning. The 27-year-old Soto is in the second season of a record $765 million, 15-year contract with the Mets. He had 43 homers and 105 RBIs while playing in 160 games last season.
