There aren’t any details yet, since this happened after Davey Martinez spoke with reporters on his daily pregame Zoom call, but Washington’s Nationals announced late this afternoon that Juan Soto has been placed on the 10-Day Injured List with a strained left shoulder.
Soto, 22, broke out of a mini-slump (or an 0 for 11 stretch) with a double in his fourth of five trips to the plate in the series opener with the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night, and the outfielder was penciled in as the club’s right fielder and No. 2 hitter for the second of three with the Cards in D.
