Yankees’ Juan Soto gives cryptic update on arm injury
New York Yankees star Juan Soto endured an injury scare on Thursday night against the Minnesota Twins. New York ultimately earned an 8-5 win, but that was the last thing on Yankees fans’ minds after the game.
Soto exited with forearm discomfort. He will undergo further evaluation on Friday. Soto provided an update after the game, via ESPN and The Associated Press.
“I don’t know what it’s going to show,” Soto said. “Just woke up one day, felt the tightness and discomfort in my forearm, and we’ve been working on it, and we’ve been trying to get away with it, and it hasn’t [gone away]… Kind of just been grinding through it.
“It’s kind of funny. It doesn’t hurt when I throw, or hitting; it’s more like soreness that I feel any kind of move that I make with my arm. But it definitely doesn’t stop me from anything baseball-wise.”
Soto’s comments make it seem like the injury may not be a huge issue. Saying it “doesn’t stop me from anything baseball-wise” will catch the team’s attention.
However, the fact of the matter is that there clearly is some sort of injury concern here. The Yankees want to make sure that Juan Soto is all right. They will make a potential injured list decision following the results of the aforementioned evaluation.
