Morning Java - 07/17: Soto's Calf Scare Looks Minor, Keller's Torn UCL Ends His Year, Semien Back for the Mets

Juan Soto exited with left-calf soreness, but the Mets are calling it a milder, separate issue from his earlier strain and expect him back this weekend. Phillies reliever Brad Keller tore his UCL and is done for 2026, likely into 2027, adding urgency to Philadelphia's deadline bullpen search. Marcus Semien is back from the IL for a 40-57 Mets club now in clear sell mode, and Devin Williams remains locked into the ninth inning. On the wire, the Orioles recalled Christian Encarnación-Strand to cover for Blaze Alexander's hand fracture.
