2 years agoSan Diego Padres skipper Bob Melvin said he doesn't expect outfielder Juan Soto (back) to start on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians. Soto was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to left mid-back tightness. The 23-year-old superstar wasn't available to pinch hit on Tuesday, but he's responded well to treatment and should be considered day-to-day at this time. The Padres have an off day on Thursday, so fantasy managers will be hoping Soto returns to the lineup for the start of a series against the Kansas City Royals on Friday. Wil Myers got the start in right field on Tuesday against Guardians right-hander Aaron Civale and went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in the team's 3-1 loss.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
