New York Yankees star outfielder Juan Soto was scratched from the starting lineup Saturday afternoon against the Toronto Blue Jays due to a hand bruise.
After brutal 9-3 loss on the road, manager Aaron Boone updated the media on the severity of Soto’s injury after he had imaging during Saturday’s game.
Boone said the X-rays on Soto’s hand came back negative and is likely day-to-day.

Boone also said Soto woke up with swelling in his right hand after sliding home during the fourth inning of Friday’s win over the Blue Jays.
It appears to be inflammation that is bothering Soto, and no further tests are scheduled right now.
