The New York Mets are currently facing a 12-game losing streak, with Juan Soto returning from the injured list to replace the team's offensive spark after a 15-game absence due to a calf injury. Despite Soto's return, the team has been struggling with a lack of offense and a lacklustre performance. Manager Carlos Mendoza stated that the team cannot rely solely on Soto as the key to breaking this losing streak. Soto has not been in touch with the team since his injury and has not shared any updates with them during his absence. The team has denied any chemistry issues and said they bonded during spring training. Despite this, Soto remains with the club when the losing streak started and was with them when they lost to the Minnesota Twins.
