A dream start to the Yankees\u2019 season and Juan Soto\u2019s time in The Bronx took its first wrong turn on Thursday, as the superstar outfielder was removed from an 8-5 win over the Twins with left forearm discomfort.<\/p>\n
Soto\u2019s departure following a 56-minute rain delay before the top of the sixth overshadowed the Yankees\u2019 season-high eighth straight win.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s set to get imaging on Friday after being checked out by the training staff and team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad during the delay Thursday and it was decided not to risk putting Soto back in the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you take a player the caliber of Juan out of a game, there\u2019s always concern about that,\u2019\u2019 Aaron Boone said. \u201cBut we\u2019re hoping we\u2019re just being cautious here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The outfielder said he has been dealing with a forearm issue for the last week or two.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been trying to get away with it and it hasn\u2019t gone [away],\u2019\u2019 said Soto, adding he woke up with the discomfort and it was not related to any baseball play.<\/p>\n
It came on a night in which the Yankees completed another sweep of the Twins and also extended their lead in the AL East over Baltimore to 4\u00bd games, their largest of the year and surpassed the idle Phillies for the best record in the majors (45-19).<\/p>\n
Much of that has been because of the fearsome 1-2 punch of Soto and Aaron Judge.<\/p>\n
Judge has stayed healthy and the durable Soto has played every game so far this season in his first year with the Yankees \u2014 and he didn\u2019t miss a game all last year with the Padres.<\/p>\n
He was replaced by Alex Verdugo.<\/p>\n
Asked if an IL stint might be required, Boone said it was \u201cway too early\u201d to know.<\/p>\n
Jasson Dominguez is at Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre, finishing off his rehab from last year\u2019s Tommy John surgery and could be a possible option if Soto has to go down.<\/p>\n
As for the game, the Yankees completed a season sweep of Minnesota and improved to 123-44 against their AL Central foes since 2002, including the postseason.<\/p>\n
Tommy Kahnle found himself in trouble with two on and two out in the eighth, but Anthony Volpe made a terrific play to his right on a sharp grounder by Carlos Correa to get the force at second and preserve a three-run lead.<\/p>\n
They also got three RBIs from little-used Trent Grisham, who was just 2-for-39 on the season coming into the game.<\/p>\n
The offense helped overcome Marcus Stroman\u2019s shaky performance, as the right-hander allowed a season-high five runs in just 4 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings.<\/p>\n
Stroman allowed a pair of solo homers in the first three innings before he was unable to finish an ugly top of the fifth, done in by two doubles and a hit by pitch.<\/p>\n
But it didn\u2019t matter, as the Yankees pummeled Minnesota right-hander Pablo Lopez for seven runs in four innings, highlighted by Grisham\u2019s two-run shot in the second and a three-run third sparked by Gleyber Torres\u2019 two-run double.<\/p>\n
With the game tied at 2-2, Soto, Judge and Giancarlo Stanton walked to lead off the bottom of the third.<\/p>\n
Torres bounced a one-out chopper past first base and down the right field line for a two-run double.<\/p>\n
Austin Wells followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 5-2 and the Yankees made it 7-2 in the fourth.<\/p>\n
But Stroman fell apart an inning later, as he allowed three of the first four hitters to score.<\/p>\n
A sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning by Grisham gave the Yankees an 8-5 lead before five Yankees relievers combined to throw 5 \u00b9\/\u2083 shutout innings to finish the win.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel we\u2019re a pretty confident group,\u2019\u2019 Stroman said. \u201cI think when we go out, we expect to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
So far, that attitude has worked well this season.<\/p>\n
They could be up against a new kind of challenge in the coming days, as they wait to see the severity of Soto\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
