Juan Soto is expected to miss three weeks with a calf injury.
The big news for the Mets is that Juan Soto picked up a calf strain in the opening game of this series on Friday.
He is expected to miss at least three weeks and the next 15 games for a Mets side that is already struggling at the bottom of the National League East.
The Mets make three changes to last night’s line-up with Jared Young, Tyrone Taylor and Luis Torrens coming in.
For the Dodgers Ohtani starts things off as Designated Hitter, while the only change to yesterday’s winning line-up sees Eliezer Alfonso replace Dalton Rushing at Catcher.
