With the Mets currently on an 11-game losing streak, they could certainly use superstar Juan Soto back as soon as possible.
And it sounds like Soto's return date is now set.
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Mets' "current plan" is for Soto to be activated ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins, the second game of the three-game series.
The most recent update on Soto from manager Carlos Mendoza noted that Soto had been taking live at-bats and had been doing "high-intensity running."
Soto hasn't played since April 3, when he landed on the IL with a calf strain. The Mets won their first three games without Soto, and then started their current 11-game skid.
Soto had been off to a tremendous start, slashing .355/.412/.516 with one home run and five RBI. The Mets offense has struggled mightily over the last 11 games, averaging just 1.7 runs per game during that span, so adding Soto back into the mix should provide a much-needed boost.
