WASHINGTON (AP) — Juan Soto was set to make his 2020 debut for the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night against the New York Mets, starting in left field and batting cleanup after beginning the season on the COVID-19 injured list.The slugger failed a coronavirus test — he later said he thought it was a false positive — and went on the injured list on opening day July 23. He missed Washington’s first eight games of the truncated season. Soto was reinstated from the IL on Tuesday, but didn't play in a 5-3 victory over the Mets, instead hopping atop the dugout to celebrate homers by teammates Howie Kendrick and Josh Harrison. “I talked to him last night. He did everything yesterday and he felt good. He said he’s ready,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Wednesday. “He took a bunch of swings yesterday, I know. He ran. He did some outfield work. He said he feels like he can go out there.”Soto produced 34 homers and 110 RBIs in the 2019 regular season and helped the Nationals win their... [More]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Utility player Josh Harrison signed a one-year contract with the Washington Nationals and was added to their 30-man active roster Monday, less than a week after he was released by the Philadelphia Phillies.The 33-year-old Harrison is a two-time All-Star and a right-handed hitter who has started games at second base, third base, shortstop and both corner outfield spots during his nine years in the majors.“The only positions that I haven’t played are catcher and first — I’ve even got a third of an inning on the mound,” he said.Harrison said that after he asked for his release from the Phillies, he was immediately in touch with teams other than the Nationals — and was close to agreeing to a deal with one of those clubs.But about 20 minutes from the end of the 600-mile drive from Philadelphia to his home in Cincinnati with his wife and children, Harrison recounted, his agent called to say: “Change of plans.

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers have released second baseman Josh Harrison after reinstating him from the injured list.The team announced the move Friday. The Tigers also released right-hander Sandy Baez to make room for right-hander Edwin Jackson. Detroit announced Thursday night that it was going to purchase Jackson's contract from Triple-A Toledo before Friday night's game against Kansas City.Harrison signed a one-year deal with the Tigers for 2019, but he hit just .176 in 136 at-bats. He's had to deal with shoulder and hamstring problems and hasn't played in a major league game since May 27.With Detroit on pace to lose 113 games, general manager Al Avila didn't think the 32-year-old fit into the late-season plans."At this stage in the season, it obviously makes sense for us to look at our young guys," Avila said. "We have been happy with Harold Castro and Niko Goodrum and some of our younger guys. We're going to continue that course."Harrison spent his first eight major league seasons with Pittsburgh. He hit .250 with eight home runs and 37 RBIs last year.
