Juan Soto admitted he hasn't spoken to his Mets teammates during their 12-game losing streak. His absence was due to a calf injury, but he is set to return for the game against the Minnesota Twins on April 22.
The New York Metsā losing streak reached 12 games on April 21. Amid this slump, outfielder Juan Soto has been nowhere to be seen ā both to fans and to his own teammates.
The losing skid coincided with Sotoās calf injury, which sent him to the injured list on April 6. He is being activated in advance of their April 22 game against the Minnesota Twins, which the Mets hope will provide a long overdue shot in the arm.

Just donāt ask Soto how his teammates are feeling about the Metsā current state of affairs. Hours before his on-field return, Soto candidly admitted to reporters in New York that he hasnāt spoken to any of them during the losing streak.
āTheyāve been on the road most of the time, so I havenāt talked to them,ā he said.
Soto isnāt wrong. The Metsā current homestand came on the heels of a week-long road trip through Los Angeles and Chicago. They played six games at home, against the Diamondbacks and Aās, after he was placed on IL.

Perhaps there isnāt much to read into the fact that Soto hasnāt exchanged text messages with any teammates while they were out of town.
Still, considering Soto signed a 15-year contract in December 2024 that could top $800 million ā the largest deal in MLB history ā it isnāt unreasonable to expect the face of the franchise to be more than minimally interested in the Metsā well-being while heās rehabbing an injury.
Soto, 27, isnāt the Metsā only significant injury loss in April. They have also lost Jorge Polanco (wrist contusion) and Jared Young (torn knee meniscus) to the injured list since Soto went down.
Beyond the practical boost to the lineup, Sotoās return could represent a morale booster for fans who have been reaching for reasons beyond the field for the teamās struggles.
Soto has always been content to let his play on the field do the talking. Clearly he hasnāt been trying to boost his teammatesā morale behind the scenes.
