Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto appears to be on the mend after a calf strain forced him to the sidelines. Following an MRI that revealed no underlying issues, Soto is reportedly close to returning to the field. Manager Carlos Mendoza has hinted that the star player could be back in left field within the next few days, potentially ending his designated hitter stint. This development is welcome news for the Nationals, who will be eager to see Soto's impact on the field as they continue to vie for a playoff spot.
The discomfort led to an MRI, which was clean, and Mendoza said Soto — who has been limited to DH duty since coming back from a calf strain — could be in left field “in the next few days.”
