Juan Soto didn’t start for a second straight game in Atlanta after tweaking his right knee late in the series finale with the Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon in the nation’s capital, but Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez told reporters before the 2nd of 3 with the Braves in Truist Park, that Soto was feeling better and had a clean MRI to support the idea that it’s not too serious an issue.
“He’s a little better,” Martinez said before the game.
“He had an MRI this morning, it was negative. He’s just got a contusion, so we’ve just got to treat it just day-to-day and see how he feels.
