Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez talks Juan Soto & throwing; Stephen Strasburg and Wander Suero + more...

Juan Soto threw on the field again before Sunday afternoon’s series finale with the Miami Marlins in the nation’s capital. Soto’s still on the 10-Day IL after landing on the list with an issue in his left shoulder. Throwing again, since he did not experience any pain swinging, was the obvious test he’d have to pass before returning, so now that he’s throwing again, how close is he to coming back?

“He’s going to throw today,” manager Davey Martinez said in his pregame Zoom call on Sunday morning.

“They’re going to push him back to 120 feet, we’ll see how he fares today, and we’ll go from there.
