Soto (hand) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. Soto was plunked on his right hand in the ninth inning Saturday, but X-rays were negative and he will tough it out for the Mets' season finale. Now a five-time All-Star, Soto has an OPS north of .900 for the fourth consecutive season, though a couple of IL stints ate into his counting stats in 2026.

Soto was removed from Saturday's game against the Nationals after getting hit on the hand by a pitch, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Soto was taken out of the game immediately after taking a 91.7-mph sinker off his right hand in the ninth inning. The Mets will likely send him in for imaging and should provide an update on his status in the near future, but with just one game left in the season and the Mets out of the playoff picture, he may sit out New York's season finale if he's still feeling sore Sunday.

Soto went 3-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run during the Mets' 6-3 win over the Phillies on Friday. With the game tied 3-3 in the sixth, Soto won the game with a 428-foot, three-run home run to center field off Orion Kerkering. It was the fourth home run in September for Soto and his 26th of the year. The superstar outfielder would need a major power surge over the final week of the regular season to reach the 30-homer mark for a fourth consecutive year.

Soto went 2-for-4 with a double, a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 7-5 win over Miami. The Mets jumped all over Sandy Alcantara early, with Soto supplying a three-run long ball in the second inning to give his team a 5-0 lead. Soto has logged two hits in both of his last two games and has three home runs since returning from the injured list Aug. 29. For the season, he is slashing .279/.400/.536 with eight steals (in 11 attempts), 24 home runs and 59 RBI across 401 plate appearances.

Soto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during the Mets' 10-4 win over the Rays on Wednesday. Soto capped the Mets' blowout win with a solo homer in the eighth inning, his 23rd of the season and second since returning from the IL on Saturday. The 27-year-old slugger was shelved by a Grade 2 calf strain for five weeks and figures to see most of his playing time as the Mets' designated hitter over the coming weeks, though he could return to the outfield toward the tail end of the regular season.
