Morning Java - 07/26: Soto to the IL for 4-6 Weeks, Red Sox Land Mead, Bellinger Exits with a Hamstring

Juan Soto is headed to the injured list with a Grade 2 calf strain carrying an initial 4-6 week estimate, and the Mets are expected to be cautious given he already missed time with a calf issue earlier this year. Boston made the first significant move of deadline season, acquiring breakout infielder Curtis Mead from Washington for lefty Connelly Early, adding a .500-slugging right-handed bat to a lineup ranked 25th in runs scored. The Yankees' outfield thinned further as Cody Bellinger exited with a hamstring injury, while Ryan Weathers turned in his deepest start in a month and Casey Mize ground out a quality start despite noticeably diminished velocity.
