New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto left Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the sixth inning with left calf soreness.

Jorge Polanco pinch hit for the five-time All-Star, who's been playing through a calf injury.

Soto started Friday's contest as the designated hitter and drew two walks before exiting.

Following the Mets' 4-2 loss, manager Andy Green said Soto would get imaging done on his calf on Saturday.

The 27-year-old is slashing .283/.408/.539 with 21 home runs and 52 RBIs for the Mets, who entered Friday with a 43-60 record.
