Now, though, Soto is looking to rediscover his rhythm at the plate. On Tuesday, in a 7-4 loss to the San Diego Padres, he lifted a high homer to left-center, a sign that his timing was coming back. But he also has hit into 16 double plays, the most in the majors. His best power stretch of the year was smacking four homers in eight games from June 1 to June 9. That was after he missed two weeks with a strained left shoulder, an injury he says affected his throwing more than this swing.
