Juan Soto returned to the lineup for the New York Yankees on Monday night against the Kansas City Royals, serving as designated hitter after missing time with left forearm inflammation.
Soto had a single in his first at-bat and later scored, part of a two-run second inning for the Yankees. He finished 1-for-3 with a walk in the 4-2 win.
It was the 15th start of Soto\'s career at DH and the first instance this season.
\"I did all my treatment early today and I went to the cages making sure everything went fine and it did,\" Soto said. \"I\'ve been seeing a lot of improvement. Definitely, it\'s not going to go away that quick.\"
A scan Friday did not reveal any problems with his elbow, the Yankees said.
