Juan Soto exited Friday’s game against the Giants after the top of the first with right calf tightness and was replaced in left field by Tyrone Taylor.
Soto singled in his lone at-bat and later appeared to grimace as he went first to third on a Bo Bichette RBI single.
He remained in the game before getting thrown out at home on a Brett Baty double play, but Taylor entered for defense in the bottom half of the first.
Soto, one of the few Mets consistently hitting early this season, extended his hitting streak to eight games and now has a .355 average and a .928 OPS.
