What happened: The injury is to Soto's left calf, opposite the strain that sidelined him earlier this season. He exited Friday's game before Saturday's roster move.

Why it matters: Soto's absence leaves New York without the centerpiece of its outfield during a difficult season. The Los Angeles Dodgers lead the series 2-0 entering the scheduled game.

What to watch: New York must set its outfield alignment while Soto begins his injured-list stint.
