After getting their seven-game win streak snapped against the San Diego Padres on Monday, the New York Mets are looking to get back on track with a victory on Tuesday. Despite their latest loss, things are looking good for New York. With a 62-45 record, they hold a one-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.

A big reason for the Mets' success is Juan Soto, who is in the midst of his first season with the team. However, the 26-year-old left the game early after fouling a ball off his foot in the fourth inning.

Following Soto's exit, the team made an announcement and gave an update regarding his injury.

As the Mets look to continue their strong campaign, they will need Soto as healthy as possible. Fortunately for them, while he was forced to leave Tuesday's game injury, it seems that not all is bad as he has been diagnosed with a foot contusion, rather than a break or something more major (h/t Anthony DiComo of MLB.com)

"Juan Soto exited tonight's game due to a foot 'contusion,' or bruise, according to the Mets, DiComo wrote on X. "That would imply nothing is broken at first glance, but the Mets will likely test him thoroughly.

Until there is more clarity, Soto's status will be worth monitoring for the foreseeable future as he is a crucial part of the team's success. The Mets will take on the Padres for the series finale on Wednesday before heading back home to take on the San Francisco Giants in a three-game weekend series.

Hopefully for New York, there will be another update about Soto's injury sooner rather than later.
