The Mets placed Soto (calf) on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Soto strained his right calf during Friday's 10-3 win over the Giants. The Mets gave him a couple days to recover in order to see if he made enough improvement to avoid an IL stint, but it didn't happen. According to the Mets, Soto's calf strain is viewed as minor and is expected to keep him out for 2-to-3 weeks. Jared Young has filled in for Soto in left field for the last two games and should continue to see increased reps. Brett Baty (thumb) and Tyrone Taylor are also candidates to see more playing time in the outfield.

Wood went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

The 23-year-old took Roki Sasaki deep in the fourth inning to help the Nationals build a 6-1 lead that the bullpen squandered late. Wood has struck out 17 times in his first 45 plate appearances this season, but he's hit the ball hard when he has made contact, producing a .125/.222/.350 slash line with three doubles, two homers, six runs and six RBI in nine games.

Benge went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Giants.

The steal was Benge's fourth of the season in nine games, but the rookie outfielder is struggling to make an impact with his bat, going 3-for-30 (.100) with a 4:11 BB:K. A groundball rate of 57.9 percent and a 3.3 degree launch angle are also contributing to his struggles. The Mets aren't going to pull the plug on the top prospect any time soon, but Benge is looking a little overmatched at the plate to begin his big-league career.

Marsee went 0-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Yankees.

The center fielder has had a tough start to the season with his bat, slashing just .118/.225/.206 through nine games with zero homers, one steal and a 5:13 BB:K, but he has managed to score five runs. Plate discipline wasn't a big problem for Marsee in his big-league debut last year, as he produced a 20.5 percent strikeout rate against a 9.4 percent walk rate, but as yet he hasn't found his 2025 form.

Carroll went 3-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Carroll, who broke a three-game hitless streak, contributed to the win in multiple ways. The stolen base was the first of the season for the outfielder, who's stolen at least 32 bags in the three previous seasons. The triple was his second, putting him on a path for a fourth consecutive campaign with double-digit triples.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in an 8-6 win against Washington on Sunday.

Hernandez got the day off Saturday and responded with a big performance one day later. The veteran slugger notched his first long ball of the campaign in the ninth inning, extending the Dodgers' lead to two runs and giving closer Edwin Diaz a little more cushion. Though the long ball was just the second extra-base hit of the campaign for Hernandez, he's swung the bat well overall, slashing .345/.367/.483 through 30 plate appearances.

Yelich went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Royals.

The veteran slugger started the scoring Sunday with an RBI triple during the opening inning before coming around to score on Gary Sanchez's home run. Yelich then doubled and scored again in the ninth. He now has three two-hit performances in the past four contests, though Sunday's extra-base hits were his first since his three-run homer March 29 versus the White Sox. Through nine games this season Yelich is slashing .353/.389/.529 with a stolen base, eight RBI and nine runs scored.

Robert went 3-for-5 with two stolen bases and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Giants.

Robert singled three times and stole his first two bases of the season Sunday, as he helped create multiple runs for the Mets. Robert has just one extra-base hit in nine games with his new team but is slashing .333/.474/.433 with one home run, six RBI, six runs scored, two steals and an 8:5 BB:K across 38 plate appearances.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Rockies.

Garcia accounted for the Phillies' lone run and was the only member of the starting lineup to reach base multiple times Sunday. Garcia's home run in the second inning was his second as a member of the Phillies, and the veteran outfielder is slashing .294/.306/.529 with the two homers, four RBI, three runs scored and a 1:9 BB:K across 36 plate appearances.

Moniak went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.

Both home runs came off Taijuan Walker, who allowed three round-trippers in the loss. Moniak was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday after missing Colorado's first six games of the season. He's now got his first two homers of the 2026 campaign and went 3-for-9 with three runs scored in the three-game set against the Phillies. Moniak is unlikely to play against many left-handed starters, but he had an .857 OPS against right-handed pitching last season.
