2 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (knee) is starting in right field and is batting third against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler on Thursday. Soto was taken out of Monday's game early due to right knee soreness after he bumped it on the dugout bench, but he's back in the lineup and needs to be returned to all starting fantasy lineups in single-season formats. The 23-year-old is a must-start asset, but he hasn't been that good in June so far, going 8-for-43 (.186) with four home runs, 12 RBI, 10 walks and 11 strikeouts in 12 games. The power has been there (13 round-trippers) and he continues to get on base at a strong clip (.378 on-base percentage), but he's hitting just .228 in 224 at-bats in 2022.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
