Juan Soto starting in left field Opening Day for Padres
San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto will start in left field on Opening Day against right-hander German Marquez and the Colorado Rockies, per manager Bob Melvin.
What It Means:
Soto was limited in the spring due to minor calf and oblique issues, but he's good to go for Opening Day. The 24-year-old is expected to be an elite fantasy asset in 2023.
numberFire's models project Soto for 11.0 FanDuel points on Opening Day. For the season, we project him for a .264 batting average and a .860 OPS across 637 plate appearances, with 27 homers, 29 doubles, 80 RBI, 91 runs scored, and 7 steals.
