Mets’ Star Juan Soto Forced to Exit Giants Game Early with Hamstring Tightness After Baserunning Scare
New York Mets star Juan Soto exited Friday’s game against the San Francisco Giants in the first inning after experiencing hamstring tightness while running the bases. The incident occurred as he advanced to third on an RBI single, causing him to grimace and ultimately leave the game. While the Mets secured an 8-2 lead, Soto, who was having a strong start to the 2026 season, is expected to miss some time as the team takes a cautious approach with the soft-tissue injury.
