Nationals reinstate OF Soto from injured list


The Washington Nationals reinstated outfielder Juan Soto from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Soto, who missed 10 games with back spasms, is batting .248 with six homers and 22 RBIs in 28 games.

The 20-year-old reached base in 15 consecutive games (April 14-30) before going on the IL.

In a corresponding move, the Nationals optioned infielder Jake Noll to Triple-A Fresno.

Noll, 25, was 2-for-12 with two RBIs in eight games with Washington.
