Briefly

The Opener: Soto, Kurtz, Ohtani
"Juan Soto is expected back tonight against the Twins after missing a little under three weeks due to a calf injury. He had a .928 OPS through eight games before the injury, and his return could provide a much-needed boost to the Mets, who have lost 12 straight games."
"Kurtz led off last night's matchup against the Mariners by working a walk, marking his 12th consecutive game with a free pass. This achievement ties him with Rickey Henderson for fifth-most in franchise history, as he aims to break the A's record of 15 straight games with a walk."
"Shohei Ohtani will be on the mound tonight against the Giants, but it remains uncertain if he will also be in the hitting lineup. He did not hit in his last start due to a hit-by-pitch earlier in the week, leading to a decision to have Dalton Rushing serve as the DH."
The Mets' losing streak has reached 12 games, with the team struggling offensively, scoring three runs or fewer in 10 of those games. Juan Soto is set to return after missing nearly three weeks due to a calf injury, having posted a .928 OPS in his first eight games. Meanwhile, A's first baseman Kurtz tied for fifth-most walks in franchise history with 12 consecutive games. Shohei Ohtani is scheduled to pitch for the Dodgers, but his hitting status remains uncertain after a recent injury.
