Mets outfielder Juan Soto had to exit the game for a pinch-hitter on Wednesday night against the Detroit Tigers after fouling a ball off his ankle earlier in the game.
MJ Melendez replaced Soto, who was DHing, in the seventh inning with runners on first and third and two outs in a tie game.
The foul ball occurred in the third inning and after getting looked at by team trainers, Soto finished his at-bat by striking out against Framber Valdez. Soto was able to take his next at-bat in the sixth inning, grounding out softly to the pitcher, but after New York tied the game at 2-2 on Bo Bichette‘s single, Soto was replaced for Melendez.
Soto finished the game 0-for-3.
