SAN DIEGO -- New York Mets slugger Juan Soto was removed from Tuesday night's 7-1 loss to the Padres a half-inning after fouling a ball off his left foot in the fourth inning.
Soto appeared to be in considerable pain. He hopped down the first-base line on his right foot and then crouched down. He was checked by a trainer, took a few swings and then finished his at-bat, grounding out to second baseman Jake Cronenworth, who made a nice diving stop.
X-rays were negative and Soto has a bruised foot, the team said.
