Mets Shake Up Lineup, Soto Leads Off

The Mets are shaking up their lineup by placing Juan Soto in the leadoff spot, aiming to maximize his plate appearances and wear down the opposing bullpen. Soto, who has struggled against left-handed pitchers, will be followed by Bo Bichette and MJ Melendez. The move comes as other leadoff candidates are slumping or still developing. Meanwhile, Jorge Polanco is progressing in his recovery from injury, and reliever A.J. Minter is nearing activation. The baseball community mourns the loss of Yankees broadcaster John Sterling, with Mets players and coaches sharing their memories of the legend.
