Washington Nationals’ Juan Soto working his way back to full strength...

Juan Soto missed two weeks of Spring Training 2.0, after he came into contact with another person who tested positive for COVID-19, and the first week of the season after his own test for the virus came up positive, though he was asymptomatic, and thinks it was a case of the result being a false positive.

Soto, 21, told reporters after returning to Nationals Park over the weekend, that after all that time off he was going to need to build back up before he started playing games again once the club was doing the same.
