Juan Soto is set to come off the injured list Wednesday, a league source confirmed, arriving at a critical moment for the New York Mets, who have dropped 11 straight games and rank among baseball's most struggling offenses.

Soto, the sport's highest-paid player, has been sidelined since straining his right calf in the opening inning of an April 3 game. New York won that contest and three more before spiraling into its longest losing streak since 2004.

The offensive numbers over the skid have been alarming. The Mets have scored more than two runs just twice in 11 games, batting .200 (29th in MLB), hitting seven home runs — only Boston has fewer — and posting a 4.7 percent walk rate, ahead of only San Francisco.

Soto's absence exposed the lineup's limited depth, but the team's established stars also underperformed. Francisco Lindor carries a .600 OPS with one home run and one RBI on the season, and has not drawn a single walk since Soto's injury despite collecting 10 before it. Bo Bichette is slashing .217/.255/.283 with one home run.

Before the injury, Soto was sharp. He batted .355 over 31 at-bats with a .928 OPS and one home run.

Filling left field during Soto's absence required a revolving cast that included Carson Benge, Brett Baty, Tyrone Taylor, Tommy Pham, and MJ Melendez. Jared Young, another option, is now lost for several weeks with a torn meniscus. Designated hitter Jorge Polanco remains on the injured list with a wrist injury.

The Mets, now 7-15, open a three-game home series against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday before Soto's scheduled return.
