Soto (calf) took live batting practice at Citi Field on Wednesday, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.
Analysis:Soto has been sidelined for the past month with a Grade 2 left calf strain, but he's made significant progress of late and appears to be closing in on a return to the Mets' active roster. He came back from a right calf strain earlier this season without a rehab assignment and could skip rehab games again, though he missed less than three weeks with the first injury. When healthy, Soto has slashed .283/.408/.539 with 21 home runs and seven steals in 84 contests for the Mets this season.
