Mets slugger Juan Soto out of lineup a day after fouling a ball off his left foot
Manager Carlos Mendoza said Soto was 'better but still sore. Getting treatment. We'll see where we're at. He hasn't done anything. He's in the training room. Hopefully he gets in the cages and see if he's available or not for the game. A little bit better.'
Jeff McNeil was in the lineup in right field as the NL East-leading Mets tried to avoid being swept.
The team announced that Soto had a bruised foot and that X-rays were negative.
Soto appeared to be in considerable pain after fouling a ball off his foot in the fourth inning of a 7-1 loss. He hopped down the first base line on his right foot and then crouched down. He was checked by an athletic trainer, took a few swings and then finished his at-bat, grounding out to second baseman Jake Cronenworth, who made a nice diving stop.
Soto was then lifted from the game.
He's hitting .248 with 25 homers and 62 RBIs.
Soto joined the Mets in December when he signed the biggest contract in baseball history, a $765 million, 15-year deal.

US Open announces record prize money purse for 2025 competition
The US Open is set to offer a record $90 million in prize money this year, marking the largest purse in tennis history and a 20% increase from 2024. Compensation increases at Flushing Meadows, following last year's $75 million total, come amidst a concerted effort by leading tennis players. They are in discussions with all four major tournaments – the US Open, Wimbledon, French Open, and Australian Open – to secure a higher percentage of their substantial revenues. At Wimbledon, which ended last month, prize money went up about 7% to about $73 million at the exchange rate when the All England Club announced its player payments. The singles champions were paid about $4 million apiece. The prize pool for the US Open surpasses 2024's $75 million, the previous highest-ever purse. Men's and women's singles winners will earn $5 million each, up from $3.6 million last year. Organisers confirmed double-digit percentage increases across all rounds and events, citing a "strategic focus on redistribution to the early rounds and qualifying tournament." Singles action has been expanded to 15 days, from 24 August to 7 September, reflecting booming attendance. A new mixed doubles format will be introduced over two days before the main competition at Flushing Meadows, aiming to feature more big-name singles players. Last year, attendance topped one million fans for the first time.

NFL employee injured in shooting ‘doing incredibly well,' per commissioner Roger Goodell
The NFL employee who was injured in the July 28 shooting at the league headquarters in Midtown Manhattan is doing well and is expected to recover, commissioner Roger Goodell said on Wednesday. 'It's been a tough week, not just for the NFL, but everybody at our Park Avenue offices,' Goodell said in a 'SportsCenter' interview on ESPN. 'Our other tenants each lost employees, and it's a sad thing for us to have to bear. I think our group is pulling together as they normally do. We're a resilient group, but collectively we're pulling together. Advertisement 'The good news is our colleague is doing incredibly well. He's going to be OK. We're obviously comforted by that, but it's hard to explain the unexplainable and the senselessness of it. The pain is real for everybody. We're all working through it.' Craig Clementi, who works in the league's finance department, was struck in the back by a bullet when gunman Shane Tamura opened fire at the building at 345 Park Ave., which houses the NFL headquarters and several other prominent companies. Tamura killed four people and injured Clementi before he shot and killed himself. Authorities later found a note in Tamura's wallet that mentioned the NFL and the brain disease CTE, leading them to believe he was focused on the NFL in the attack. Clementi was injured while he was on the phone, warning other NFL employees to stay safe and evacuate. He continued to make calls while he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. In an interview during the Hall of Fame Game last week, Goodell said he spent an hour with Clementi at the hospital on July 30 and that Clementi was 'stable and improving.' Goodell stayed in New York during the Hall of Fame Game to attend the funeral of Didarul Islam, the NYPD officer who was killed in the shooting. Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner, security guard Aland Etienne and Rudin Management associate Julia Hyman were the other deceased victims. Spot the pattern.
