Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported before Tuesday’s game that Juan Soto has forearm tightness. Heyman noted that he was good to swing, but didn’t play the field. However, Soto was throwing pregame on Tuesday, and reports suggest that he is feeling fine, Heyman tweeted after the game.
Soto DH’ed and went 1-for-4 with his second home run of the season.
