Mets outfielder Juan Soto had to exit the game for a pinch-hitter on Wednesday night against the Detroit Tigers after fouling a ball off his ankle earlier in the game.

The foul ball occurred in the third inning and after getting looked at by team trainers, Soto finished his at-bat by striking out against Framber Valdez .
