Juan Soto Leaves Game Early Due To Left Forearm Injury
6 months agoNew York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto was removed from Thursday night's game due to left forearm discomfort following an hour-long rain delay. Soto had gone 0-for-1 with a pair of walks and a run scored before leaving the game. The superstar's exit saw Alex Verdugo enter in left field as Aaron Judge shifted to right. Trent Grisham was already manning center. Any missed time for Soto would be a massive blow to the Yankees and fantasy teams alike. Top prospect Jasson Dominguez was pulled from his Triple-A game tonight as well. However, the moves were not correlated as Dominguez continues to work on his defensive endurance in the outfield. Of course, if Soto and his 1.027 OPS have to miss extended time then Dominguez should be the optimal call-up and would be an immediate fantasy add. (Update: Soto has reportedly felt this discomfort for the past week and had soreness during the rain delay, which prompted him to see the team doctor. They lifted him as a precautionary move and he will undergo imaging on Friday.)
