Juan Soto Delivers Key Hit After Injury Scare

Yankees star was scratched from lineup due to knee soreness but contributed a crucial RBI double in extra innings.

Juan Soto was initially set to start against the Oakland Athletics but was scratched due to swelling and soreness in his left knee.
Soto injured his knee making a sliding catch into a wall during Thursday's game against the Seattle Mariners.
X-rays on Soto's knee were negative, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated that no additional testing is needed.
Despite the injury, Soto entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the 10th inning and hit a decisive RBI double, leading the Yankees to a 4-2 victory.
Boone expressed confidence that Soto's injury is not a long-term concern and that he remains day-to-day as the Yankees prepare for the postseason.
