Davey Martinez announced Juan Soto’s return from two weeks on the 10-Day IL with a left shoulder strain a few hours before the scheduled start of the Washington Nationals’ three-game series with Atlanta’s Braves last night in the nation’s capital.
“We made some moves today,” Martinez said in a statement he gave before his daily Zoom Q&A session with reporters got going.
“Soto is back on. We sent out [Kyle] McGowin. [Will] Harris is back on and we DFA’d Hernán Pérez. Soto is going to come off the bench and pinch hit when needed. We’ll try to get him in there and get some at bats for him.
