The Mets have yet another injury worry on their hands.
Juan Soto exited Wednesday’s game against the Tigers at Citi Field in the seventh inning, four frames after fouling a ball off his right foot.
During his third inning at-bat, Soto hobbled out of the batter’s box and hopped around to regain feeling in his foot.
He briefly took a knee while manager Carlos Mendoza and trainer Joe Golia came out to check on him. Soto eventually stood up on his own power and limped back to the plate.
He went on to strike out with two runners on base.
The four-time All-Star came out for one more at-bat and grounded out. He finished the night 0-for-3 with a strikeout.
Soto may join a lengthy list of Mets regulars on the mend, including Francisco Alvarez, whom the team placed on the 10-day IL on Wednesday after he sustained a right meniscus tear.
