JUAN SOTO NEWS

Won't start Saturday Soto (elbow) will be on the bench as expected Saturday against Atlanta.

Impact Soto was scratched Friday due to left elbow soreness and is expected to see for at least a couple days. When exactly he returns to the lineup remains to be seen, but an MRI didn't reveal any serious issues, so his absence likely won't be a lengthy one. Brock Holt will get the nod in left field.

Impact The 21-year-old was penciled in at his usual spot in the lineup for Friday's matinee until the elbow issue was reported less than an hour before first pitch. Soto will presumably also be sidelined for the second game of the doubleheader. Josh Harrison will move to left field after originally being set to start at third base, while WIlmer Difo takes over at third.

Mashes ninth homer Soto went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Friday's 10-2 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Only getting one hit in a night is almost a slump for Soto, but he still supplied the big blow in a five-run third inning that gave Max Scherzer all the offense he would need. The 21-year-old slugger has gone yard in back-to-back games to give him nine homers and 20 RBI in only 21 games, and his slash line sits at a dizzying .368/.461/.803.
