TORONTO -- New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto was a late addition to the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays after sitting out a loss a day earlier because of a bruised right hand.
The three-time All-Star and 2020 NL batting champion singled against Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman in his first at-bat and scored on Aaron Judge's 31st home run of the season.
Soto was injured Friday night after he slid into home plate in the fourth inning of a 16-5 win. He rolled over after touching home plate with his left hand and his right hand slammed into the dirt.
