"Soto put up a huge .355/.412/.516 line in the club's first eight games. His absence almost perfectly aligns with the club's season going into a tailspin."
"The Mets won their first game with Soto on the IL, increasing their record to 7-4. They have since dropped 11 straight contests, dropping them to 7-15."
"The outfield has been a particular weak spot for the club since Soto landed on the shelf, receiving a collective .232/.305/.322 line from their outfielders."
"FanGraphs still gives the Mets a 41.4% chance of making the postseason, which doesn't seem too bad in the current context, but that's basically half of the 80.4% chance they had to begin the campaign."
Soto is set to return from the injured list after a calf strain sidelined him for over two weeks. His absence coincided with the Mets' decline, dropping from a 7-4 record to 7-15. The outfield has struggled significantly during this period, posting a .232/.305/.322 line. Soto's return is hoped to help the team recover and improve their postseason chances, which have decreased from 80.4% to 41.4%. The Mets' current outfield performance has been below average, contributing to their overall struggles.
