Working as DH on Thursday
Soto (back) will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and bat third Thursday against the Cubs.
Análise
Back tightness prevented Soto from playing in either game of Wednesday's doubleheader, and although the Mets are still holding off on returning him to the field, the fact that he's been cleared to work as the DH is an encouraging sign that the injury isn't bothering him too much. Soto was enjoying a hot streak at the plate before getting hurt, slashing .395/.509/.744 with four homers, eight RBI, eight runs and a 10:4 BB:K across his last 13 games.

Deemed day-to-day
Manager Carlos Mendoza said after Tuesday's game against the Cubs that Soto (back) is considered day-to-day, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
Análise
Mendoza said that Soto's back locked up on him during the game, which had an impact on his ability to throw and swing. The fact that the team has labeled him as day-to-day bodes well for his chances of avoiding the injured list, though the 27-year-old star could still sit out a game or two as a precaution. MJ Melendez and Eric Wagaman would be candidates to start in the outfield during any games Soto might miss.
