The injuries continue to mount for the New York Mets .

This time it's superstar left fielder Juan Soto who was removed from Wednesday night's game against the Detroit Tigers.

Soto fouled a ball off his right foot/ankle area in the third inning and was in excrutiating pain. After getting checked out by the team trainer, Soto remained in the game. He also took his next at-bat in the sixth inning.

MJ Melendez is pinch-hitting for Juan Soto in the 7th inning.

However, Soto was later taken out in the seventh inning when MJ Melendez pinch-hit for him.

This is an alarming development given how banged up the Mets already are. The team put catcher Francisco Alvarez on the 10-day IL earlier today with a meniscus tear in his right knee that will require surgery.

The Mets will be hoping that Soto doesn't have to miss significant time.…
