Davey Martinez said on Tuesday that the decision to put Juan Soto on the 10-Day IL was an easy one once an MRI revealed a strain in the 22-year-old outfielder’s left shoulder.
“A couple days ago he started complaining about his triceps a little bit,” Martinez explained.
“Just that he was sore. He said it again, and [Director of Athletic Training Paul Lessard] decided that the right thing to do was have him go get an MRI, and make sure there’s nothing really wrong with him.
“So we did that, and it showed a slight strain in the shoulder.
