Soto (calf) delayed as Team D.R. meets in Miami PEORIA, Ariz. -- Manny Machado rolled into Padres camp briefly on Monday morning, said hi to a few teammates and coaches, then departed for...
Expected to be fine for WBC Soto (calf) will join Team Dominican Republic on Friday and is expected to be fine to participate in the World Baseball Classic, Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes reports.
Impact Rojas was relaying a message from Nelson Cruz, who not only is Soto's teammate with the Padres but also serves as the general manager for Team Dominican Republic. Soto has been dealing with some nagging tightness in his left calf for the last week, but the level of concern for the injury at this point remains low. While he's been limited to just four Cactus League games so far this spring, Soto has gone 8-for-11 with one homer and seven RBI in those contests.

Calf still issue Soto is being held out of Friday's lineup against the Cubs due to continued issues with his left calf, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Soto missed a brief stretch earlier in the week with calf tightness, and after returning to the Padres lineup Wednesday, it now seems that he is not quite 100 percent healthy yet. That being said, the 24-year-old superstar still went 2-for-3 in each of San Diego's last two games, so it doesn't seem like his injury is a significant concern.

Resumes running Wednesday Batten (calf) resumed a running program Wednesday, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Batten has yet to appear in a Cactus League game because of a strained calf, but he seems to be making progress. The 27-year-old would seem to have enough time to get ready for Opening Day if he can keep moving in the right direction, although he's likely to start the year in the minors, anyway.
