OAKLAND, Calif. -- New York Yankees star right fielder Juan Soto was scratched from Friday night's lineup a day after hurting his left leg sliding into a wall to make a catch, but later appeared as a pinch hitter, hitting an RBI double in the 10th inning against the Athletics.

Soto was originally in the lineup for the series opener against the Athletics but was pulled out after reporting soreness and swelling in the leg. Manager Aaron Boone said X-rays were negative and Soto would not need additional testing.
