3 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (knee) is expected to be in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He took batting practice during Friday's game and would have been able to pinch-hit. The Nationals outfielder tweaked his knee in the ninth inning of Thursday's game. Soto is slashing .298/.427/.500 with 18 home runs, 58 RBI, 73 runs scored, and six stolen bases across 422 plate appearances in 2021. Fantasy managers should check back on Saturday to ensure Soto is in the lineup before activating him. If Soto is unable to suit up, look for Gerardo Parra to handle right field duties on Saturday.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
