After the Yankees scratched slugger Juan Soto from Saturday’s lineup against the Toronto Blue Jays with what the team is calling a right hand bruise, the team announced X-rays came back negative.
Then, on Sunday, Soto told MLB.com’s Brian Hoch that he may get a CT scan or an MRI on Monday, though he said his right hand was feeling better.
Manager Aaron Boone said that Soto’s hand swelled up and he was uncomfortable swinging a bat on Saturday.
The bruise occurred when Soto slid into home on a rundown play in Friday’s game.
Soto has been an essential part of the 2024 Yankees.
The 25-year-old is slashing .302/.434/1.004 with 20 home runs and 60 RBI. He was the catalyst for the Yankees’ 16-5 win on Friday when his three-run home run put New York in the lead for good. The win snapped the Yankees’ four-game losing streak.
