Soto's Injury Update from Manager Juan Soto was placed on the injured list eight days ago with a timetable of two to three weeks for return to play.

Soto continues to receive treatment for his strained right calf but has not begun running, according to Carlos Mendoza.

Soto may receive additional imaging pretty soon to determine his progress.

Holmes threw a side session and has been cleared for his scheduled start on Wednesday, according to Carlos Mendoza.

Mauricio was recalled on the last homestand to provide a bat off the bench after Juan Soto was placed on the injured list. Mauricio went 1-for-4, including a walk-off single in the 10th inning against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
