Josue De Paula Rested Against Left-Hander and Praised by Juan Soto

Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Josue De Paula sat out Wednesday against Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott after making five straight starts following his call-up. Mets star Juan Soto recently gave De Paula a shoutout on Instagram, highlighting comparisons between their batting stances and plate discipline. Called up from Double-A to replace injured Shohei Ohtani, the 21-year-old outfielder has displayed notable patience, drawing five walks in his first four games.
