The New York Yankees are the best team in MLB and, undoubtedly, the biggest reason of their transformation is Juan Soto. After a very disappointing 2023 season, Aaron Boone found himself with a star player who took to another level an explosive lineup alongside Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
By the way, it’s important to remember that the Yankees have a 45-19 record without their greatest asset: Gerrit Cole. So, if this team stays healthy, the sky is the limit.
As a consequence, thousands of fans are dreaming with their first World Series title since 2009. However, during the game against the Minnesota Twins, Juan Soto suffered an injury on his left arm.
Soto was out for Friday’s blockbuster matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but, there are positive signs for the Dominican outfielder.

How long will Juan Soto be out with the Yankees?
Aaron Boone announced that Juan Soto won’t go to the injury list and that the star just has inflammation on his left forearm. According to the manager, there’s a lot of relief inside the clubhouse as many people expected a bigger problem with his elbow.
“It’s just inflammation. No ligament damage at all. So, good news. In the grand scheme of things, we got good news. Just some inflammation in there. We’ll start with some medicine and you know, right now treat him as day-to-day. I think he might be available on some situations even this weekend.”

Of course, Boone admitted it was a very long wait to find out the results. “Well (laughs), there might have been some anxious moments in there. It was the unknown. So, I was just trying not to speculate on it too much.”
