Ahead of the start of the Mets’ three-game series with the Reds, manager Carlos Mendoza offered a number of injury updates in his pre-game press conference.

Most pressing for this series is that Juan Soto is still feeling week and has a fever, and so isn’t playing today and his status for the rest of the series is still unknown. Jared Young and A.J. Minter are both set to rejoin the team this week, with Young likely on Tuesday and Minter either Tuesday or Wednesday.
