6 years agoWashington Nationals outfield prospect Juan Soto has been promoted to the MLB club, according to Byron Kerr of MASN. The Nationals need outfield depth with recent injuries to Howie Kendrick and Rafael Bautista. Soto, 19, began the season with A-Full Season Hagerstown of the South Atlantic League, but has been promoted three times since then. Soto has hit 13 home runs in 39 minor league games this season, posting a 1.218 OPS across all levels. He will be the first teenager to play for the Nationals since Bryce Harper in 2012. Soto should be added in every format. He's not guaranteed to hit the ground running in the MLB, but you want him on your squad in case he continues his current tear at the big league level.--Phil Goyette
