Soto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Twins.
Monday marked just the second long ball of the season for Soto, who got his first hit of the year with a runner in scoring position on a 405-foot shot to center field in the seventh inning. Despite what seems to be a quiet start by the perennial All-Star's lofty standards, Soto is slashing a respectable .250/.400/.429 with four doubles, six RBI, one stolen base and 14 walks over 70 plate appearances (16 games) so far.
Siri has been diagnosed with a fractured left tibia, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The Mets sent Siri for additional testing Monday to determine the extent of his shin soreness, and he's looking at a lengthy absence after being diagnosed with a fracture. Manager Carlos Mendoza stated that Siri will be placed on the 10-day injured list while rehabbing the injury, though a timetable for his return has yet to be established. Tyrone Taylor and Starling Marte will presumably get more looks in the outfield while Siri is sidelined.

Mets' Clay Holmes: Five strong innings in second win
Rotowire
Holmes (2-1) picked up the win Monday against the Twins, allowing one run on two hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out eight.
The hard-throwing right-hander got off to an impressive start Monday, punching out the side in the first inning, and it wasn't until the fifth frame where Holmes lost his control a bit. Christian Vazquez scratched Minnesota's only run of the game across on a sacrifice fly, which came after a hit-by-pitch, two free passes and a pair of wild pitches. Holmes' transition into a starting role has yielded inconsistent results, as he'll take a 3.66 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB through 19.2 innings (four starts) into his next scheduled start at home against the Cardinals over the weekend.

Mets' Sean Manaea: Making progress in rehab
Rotowire
Manaea (oblique) started playing catch from 60 feet Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Manaea has been struggling through a right oblique strain that caused him to be placed on the 15-day injured list to begin the season. MRI results from Monday showed improvement, which prompted the veteran southpaw to resume playing catch off flat ground, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters that they'll limit Manaea's throwing to 60 feet for the next 10 days and assess the 33-year-old after that.

Mets' Jose Siri: Undergoing MRI, CT scan
Rotowire
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday that Siri (shin) is still "pretty sore" and will undergo an MRI and CT scan, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Siri fouled a ball off his left shin during Saturday against the Athletics and had to be carted off the field. He will go through tests to determine the extent of the damage and the Mets will decide after those results are in whether Siri needs to go on the 10-day injured list. Tyrone Taylor is in center field again for the Mets on Monday versus the Twins.

Mets' Starling Marte: Set to lose work with Winker back
Rotowire
Marte is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Marte had started four of the previous five games at designated hitter, but the surge in playing time seems to be result of Jesse Winker having battled flu-like symptoms for much of the past week. With Winker back in lineup for the first time since last Monday, Marte looks set to occupy the short side of a platoon at DH moving forward. Marte is batting .192 with a home run and a stolen base over his 32 plate appearances on the season.

Mets' Jesse Winker: Back in lineup Monday
Rotowire
Winker (illness) will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and No. 6 batter in Monday's game against the Twins.
Winker hadn't been included in the New York lineup for any of the previous five games while recovering from flu-like symptoms. After checking out fine following a pinch-hitting appearance in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Athletics and then resting in Sunday's 8-0 win in the series finale, Winker has now been given the green light to make his first start in a week. A healthy Winker should continue to occupy the strong side of a platoon at designated hitter, while Starling Marte draws the majority of the starts versus left-handed pitching.

Mets' Jose Siri: Out again Monday
Rotowire
Siri (shin) is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Minnesota.
Siri had to be carted off the field after fouling a ball off his left shin during Saturday against the Athletics. He'll be out of the lineup for a second straight day Monday but has not been placed on the 10-day injured list to this point. Tyrone Taylor will cover center field and bat eighth in Monday's series opener.

Mets' Brett Baty: Out against right-hander
Rotowire
Baty is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Minnesota.
The Twins have right-hander Joe Ryan on the hill in the series opener, but the left-handed hitting Baty will nonetheless begin the contest on the bench. Baty is just 5-for-36 with a 15:0 K:BB for the Mets this season. Luisangel Acuna will occupy second base and hit ninth.

Mets' Jesse Winker: Battling illness
Rotowire
Winker has been on the bench for five straight games while dealing with flu-like symptoms, Tim Britton of the Athletic reports.
The 31-year-old was able to pinch hit Saturday, so the Mets don't seem to be contemplating an IL stint for Winker. He's batting .200 (5-for-25) to begin the season and is still looking for his first home run, but he should return to the strong side of a platoon at DH once healthy.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Three hits in win
Rotowire
Torrens went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Athletics.
Torrens opened up the scoring with an RBI base knock in the sixth and added on more with an RBI-double in the ninth. He's been productive as the Mets' top option behind the dish while Francisco Alvarez (hand) has been sidelined to begin the season, slashing .333/.375/.567 with a home run, five RBI, two runs and a 2:7 BB:K in 32 plate appearances. However, with Alvarez currently in the midst of a rehab assignment and perhaps in line to return from the IL during the upcoming week, Torrens will soon be headed to a reserve role.

Mets' Kodai Senga: Cruises to second win
Rotowire
Senga (2-1) tossed seven scoreless frames in a win over the Athletics on Sunday, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out four.
Senga needed just 79 pitches to complete seven frames and ended his day with back-to-back punchouts against Seth Brown and Gio Urshela. Sunday's outing matched Senga's longest scoreless outing in the majors and he's now working on a 13-inning scoreless streak. Senga owns a 1.06 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB in 17 innings and will look to keep things rolling in a home matchup versus St. Louis this week.
Siri could be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left shin contusion, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Siri had to be carted off the field after fouling a ball off his left leg Saturday against the Athletics. Initial tests didn't reveal any structural damage, but the 29-year-old outfielder is still using crutches and is in pain. Siri will continue to undergo testing, and if a stint on the IL is warranted, the Mets will look to Triple-A Syracuse for outfield depth.

Mets' Hayden Senger: Returning to bench role
Rotowire
Senger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Senger had started behind the dish in six of the previous seven games, but he'll likely see his playing time take a hit now that Luis Torrens has recovered from a bruised forearm. Senger may soon find himself off the 26-man active roster entirely, as Francisco Alvarez (hand) has already begun a minor-league rehab assignment and is nearing reinstatement from the 10-day injured list.

Mets' Brandon Sproat: Finding groove at Triple-A
Rotowire
Sproat gave up one run on two hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in Saturday's start for Triple-A Syracuse.
After a bumpy first outing this season, Sproat has bounced back to post an 8:2 K:BB over his last two starts and 8.1 innings for Syracuse. The 24-year-old righty tossed 75 pitches (51 strikes) in Saturday's appearance, and while he'll need to be more efficient before he'll be a real option for a spot start with the Mets, he's making progress toward his big-league debut.

Mets' Starling Marte: Sitting Sunday
Rotowire
Marte is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Athletics on Sunday.
Marte will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-9 with two RBI and three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Mark Vientos will serve as the designated hitter while Luisangel Acuna and Brett Baty start at second and third base, respectively.

Mets' Jose Siri: Not in Sunday's lineup
Rotowire
Siri (shin) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Siri suffered a left shin contusion in Saturday's 3-1 loss after fouling a ball of his leg. He's considered day-to-day for the time being, though manager Carlos Mendoza said prior to Sunday's contest that Siri could be a candidate for the injured list as soon as Monday if he hasn't made much meaningful progress in his recovery by that point, per Tim Healey of Newsday. Tyrone Taylor will pick up the start in center field Sunday while Siri sits.
