One day after clinching a postseason berth, the New York Yankees received a major scare Thursday after star outfielder Juan Soto banged his left knee while sliding into the short wall in foul territory on a highlight-reel catch.

Soto slid into the wall in foul territory down the right-field line in the seventh inning of a 3-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners. After a lengthy visit from Yankees manager Aaron Boone, athletic trainers and seemingly every one of his teammates, Soto remained in the game and was shaking out his left leg.
