Juan Soto - Calf still issueSoto 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.

ImpactSoto 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.

Evan White - Scratched due to sorenessWhite was scratched from the Mariners' Cactus League lineup Friday due to general soreness, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

ImpactMariners general manager Justin Hollander called it a precautionary move and said it's not a huge concern. White slugged his first home run of the spring Monday in his second Cactus League game, and he'll hopefully be able to return to action over the weekend. He's trying to avoid being sent back to Triple-A Tacoma to begin the 2023 campaign, although it's tough to project him for regular playing time with Ty France at first base and Teoscar Hernandez likely to be the regular DH.
