Washington Nationals’ Juan Soto returns after quarantine following positive test for COVID-19...

Davey Martinez was thrilled to see Juan Soto back at Nationals Park on Saturday afternoon, now that the 22-year-old outfielder, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Opening Day and has been asymptomatic and in quarantine since, was cleared to return to working out with the club.

“He came in this morning,” Martinez told reporters in a Zoom call once the team’s workouts were done.

“First time I saw him, comes in my office with that big old smile, and besides him being a baseball player that’s what I miss about Juan. His personality.
