New York Mets star Juan Soto was substituted out of Thursday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies in the eighth inning as a precautionary measure. The outfielder experienced discomfort in his left calf.

The Mets opted to pull Juan Soto from the game as a precaution after he reported feeling soreness in his left calf. The incident occurred during the eighth inning of their matchup with the Phillies.

Despite the early exit, the team's medical staff is optimistic that the issue is minor. Sources indicate that Soto is expected to be available for the Mets' upcoming weekend series.
