Juan Soto is heading to the IL.
The Mets slugger is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a right calf strain, the team said Monday.
In a corresponding move, infielder Ronny Mauricio was called up from Triple-A.
Soto was hurt during Friday’s win while running the bases, but remained on the active roster as the team determined a course of action.
Through eight games, the four-time All-Star is slashing .355/.412/.516 with one homer and 5 RBIs and was one of the bright spots on an offense that has yet to find its stride.
