Juan Soto Pinch-Hits Saturday
3 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (knee) entered Saturday's game as a pinch-hitter, and he stayed in to run the bases after drawing a walk in the sixth inning. Soto was expected to be back in the lineup Saturday, but the pinch-hit appearance and subsequent turn on the bases should assuage any fears that his knee issue will linger for the rest of the year. Washington has every reason to be cautious with Soto after he felt a tweak Thursday, but it appears that he has a chance to return to the lineup in short order.
