Soto Briefly Sidelined by Fever, Now Back and Raking
The Mets outfielder sat out two games mid-surge due to illness but has since returned with no apparent lingering effects.
Juan Soto missed Sunday's game against the Marlins and Monday's game against the Reds due to a fever. Despite the absence, he returned and continued his power surge, hitting six home runs in his last seven games. Manager Carlos Mendoza described Soto as 'locked in.' The illness appears resolved with no ongoing concern.
