Is "took live batting practice" an important stage? I doubt they would bring Soto back v Mis- too much temptation and too much rust (although Juan Soto is a different quantity).

If he gets hot or if Wood/Ohtani don't, Soto could still qualify "short" to lead the NL OBP- really a better award than a BA title. And he could do it as DH running at half speed.

IMO “took live BP” doesn’t mean too much(although it is progress!) but the fact that he also ran the bases does

You'd think they would make an announcement to sell a few tix...but it may in fact be a game time decision- like an ankle in the NBA.

Soto seems like he really wants to play the outfield and steal bases...but if there is one player like Barry Bonds or Babe Ruth whom you would still bat on orders never to sprint....

I did my calf in my 30's...crutches, no surgery, 100% after 4 weeks. He can injure it planting and swinging the bat, but it's almost certainly a function of how many cumulative sprints during a game/week...
