Juan Soto had a stop and start reaction when Josh Bell hit a liner that bounced off of the second base bag in the series finale with Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, and he came around to score on a throwing error on the play, but limped slowly across the plate after tweaking something on the way home.
“It was a weird play,” manager Davey Martinez said after the game.
“He said he felt something in his knee. He’s getting checked out as we speak, I’ll know more tomorrow.”
When Martinez spoke before last night’s series opener with the Atlanta Braves in Truist Park, he was waiting to see how Soto felt after he got some pregame work in.
