The Mets continue to play without Juan Soto.
He has been out since July 24 with an injury.
On Wednesday, the Mets announced a notable update on Soto.
MLB.com wrote: “On Aug. 26, Soto took live batting practice for the first time, played catch and ran the bases without any problems. Even more impressive was that he was making quick stops while rounding each base.”
According to the site, he is still supposed to return to action next month.
Chelsea Janes of SNY wrote (on August 26): “Juan Soto is hitting off a real pitcher at Citi Field right now. Had heard Sept. 1 as a loose target for his return, though everyone is careful about giving timelines because obviously they can change. Either way, if he’s hitting live, he’s certainly getting closer.”
Soto is batting .283 with 83 hits, 21 home runs, 52 RBIs, 46 runs and seven stolen bases in 84 games this year.
He is in the middle of his second season with the Mets.
