Juan Soto, Howie Kendrick Back In Camp
4 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto and infielder Howie Kendrick returned to the team's summer camp on Thursday and played in an intrasquad game. The Nationals never announced why both players were absent from camp, so they may have come in contact with an individual(s) that tested positive for COVID-19. Both players received six at-bats on Thursday in order to make up for lost time. Soto had 34 home runs and 110 RBI last year for the World Series champions, while Kendrick was the MVP of the NL Championship Series against the Cardinals. Soto can do it all and is just 21 years old, making him worth considering in the second round of fantasy drafts. Kendrick was excellent in 2019, but at 37 years old, we wonder if he can replicate his 2019 season. The good news is he should see regular at-bats with the designated hitter in play. He's worth a late-round pick in mixed leagues for his ability to make contact.
