Washington Nationals’ Juan Soto on IL stint, shoulder injury, coming back like he did in 2020...

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.
