You may have noticed how Juan Soto, who hit second for the first seven or so weeks this season, then hit third in the Nationals’ lineup in 23 of 24 games between May 22nd-June 17th, moved back up to the two-hole during the series with the Phillies in D.C. last week.
He stayed there for both games in Baltimore and all three in Texas this weekend.
Manager Davey Martinez said in his pregame press conference with reporters before the finale with the Rangers, he made the decision after Soto was left on deck during one of their losses to Philadelphia.
