LEADING OFF: Padres' Lamet set for return, Nats without Soto

A look at what's happening around the majors Wednesday:. Dinelson Lamet is set for his season debut with the Padres after working back from elbow discomfort that caused him to miss the end of the 2020 season, including the playoffs. The right-hander was a breakout ace for San Diego last season, finishing fourth in NL Cy Young Award voting. He's returning to a revamped rotation that includes offseason pickups Yu Darvish, Blake Snell and Joe Musgrove.
