The New York Mets are set to welcome back star outfielder Juan Soto on Wednesday, providing a much-needed boost to their struggling offense. The team is currently enduring an 11-game losing streak, the longest since 2004, and has scored an MLB-worst 72 runs this season. Without Soto, the Mets have struggled significantly, scoring two or fewer runs in nine of those games and ranking low in several offensive categories, including 29th in OPS and 28th in wRC+. Soto, who is batting .355 with one home run and five RBIs this season, initially strained his right calf on April 3 during a game against the San Francisco Giants. The Mets' performance has drastically declined since his injury, leading to manager Carlos Mendoza expressing concern over the team's hitting. Soto's return against the Minnesota Twins could be pivotal as the Mets look to break their losing streak and improve their offensive output.
