Yankees star outfielder Juan Soto missed the weekend series against the Dodgers due to inflammation in his left forearm. The news is encouraging, however, as manager Aaron Boone expects Soto to be back for the series against the Kansas City Royals that begins June 10.
Soto underwent an MRI that ruled out any structural damage to his forearm or elbow. He is not expected to go on the injured list, but the team is taking a cautious approach to get him fully recovered before returning to action.
Soto’s absence was felt in the Yankees’ offense during the series against the Dodgers. The team scored only four runs in the first two games and had difficulty hitting with runners in scoring position.
Soto’s return would be a huge boost for the Yankees’ offense. He is one of the most productive hitters in baseball and his presence in the lineup is critical to the team’s success.
However, the Yankees also want to make sure Soto makes a full recovery before returning to action. They don’t want to risk him suffering a relapse that could cost him more time on the field.
In summary, Juan Soto is making progress in his recovery from inflammation in his left forearm and could return to the Yankees’ lineup for the series against the Kansas City Royals. His return would be a huge boost to the team’s offense, but the Yankees are taking a cautious approach to ensure he makes a full recovery.
