Serving as DH in return
The Mets reinstated Soto (calf) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against the Twins. Soto will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and No. 2 batter in his return to the lineup, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Análise
Soto strained his right calf while running the bases in an April 3 game against the Giants, but after completing a full running progression, taking part in defensive drills and facing live pitching over the ensuing two and a half weeks, he's been given the green light to return from the IL without requiring a rehab assignment. The Mets will ease Soto back into action in a non-defensive role, but it shouldn't be long before he resumes playing left field on a full-time basis.

Aiming to return Wednesday
The Mets' current plan is for Soto (calf) to return from the 10-day injured list Wednesday against the Twins, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Análise
Working his way back from a right calf train, Soto began a running progression a week ago and has made strides without any setbacks. He is poised to skip a rehab assignment and return to the Mets' lineup for the second contest of a three-game series versus the Twins. Soto was slashing .355/.412/.516 across 34 plate appearances when he was hurt in early April.

No firm date yet for return
Soto (calf) is still expected to return from the injured list during a homestand that begins Tuesday against the Twins, but the exact date of his activation remains up in the air, Max Ralph of MLB.com reports. "Yes, he's still on track," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday. "Not sure which day, but as of right now, the plan is for him to start playing for us at some point in the next homestand."
Análise
The superstar outfielder began a running progression last Tuesday, but New York needs to see him increase the intensity of that program and demonstrate that he can handle activities like quick stops and starts before he'll be brought back. Soto was slashing .355/.412/.516 through 34 plate appearances when he was injured in early April, and during his 14-game absence the Mets have gone a miserable 3-11, losing their last 11 games.

On track for homestand
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Soto (calf) remains on track to return during the team's upcoming homestand, which runs April 21-30, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
Análise
It was previously reported that Soto was expected to be reinstated from the 10-day IL during the upcoming week, so a return during the first half of the homestand wouldn't be surprising. The 27-year-old appears set to rejoin the Mets without needing a minor-league rehab assignment after missing the past two-plus weeks due to a calf strain.

On track to return next week
Soto (calf) continues to progress with his baseball activities and remains on track to return from the 10-day injured list next week, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
Análise
Soto will undergo another MRI just to make sure his right calf strain has sufficiently healed, and as long as that comes back clean he could be activated Tuesday at the beginning of the Mets' next homestand. The 27-year-old outfielder has been sidelined for the past two weeks.
