The Mets opened their series with the Padres on the wrong side of a walk-off single on Monday night, which snapped a seven-game win streak. They entered Tuesday night with a 62-45 record, which leads the NL East standings. The Padres held a 1-0 lead when Soto left the game, thanks to an RBI single from Jackson Merrill in the first inning.

The training staff numbed Soto’s foot Tuesday night. The goal is to get the swelling down so he can wear a shoe, swing at full strength and run the bases.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto will be out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres.
