San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto (back) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Sandy Alcantara and the Miami Marlins.
Soto will return to left field and the three-hole after being held out of the previous lineup with a minor back issue. Jose Azocar will be available off the bench after filling in for Soto.
numberFire’s models project Soto ($3,700) for 11.8 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Padres' implied total is 3.74 and the game total is 8.0. Alcantara is having a career-worst season since he became a full-time starter, with a 4.86 ERA (4.26 xERA), 21.6% strikeout rate, and 7.6% walk rate.
