New York Yankees provide update on Juan Soto forearm injury image

New York Yankees star outfielder Juan Soto exited Thursday night's game against the Minnesota Twins due to left forearm discomfort, and manager Aaron Boone provided an update after the game.

Boone told the media that Soto's forearm has been bothering him for about a week and has been getting treatment.

The star outfielder had soreness during the delay and was checked by Dr. Christopher Ahmad. The team ultimately decided not to push it coming out of the rain delay.

Soto will have imaging on his forearm Friday.

Soto has been everything the Yankees could have wanted when they traded for him this offseason. He's been playing at an MVP level alongside Aaron Judge so this will be something to monitor Friday.
