What happened: Soto felt the issue while running the bases Friday night. The calf first flared during a July 16 game in Philadelphia.

Why it matters: The recurrence puts Soto's immediate availability in question after he returned to the lineup as a designated hitter last weekend. Saturday's evaluation will shape the next roster decision.

By the numbers: The latest removal came eight days after Soto's first left-calf exit, marking two such departures in nine calendar days.

What to watch: His status for the next game will be determined after the evaluation.
