The New York Yankees received a major scare when Juan Soto banged his left knee while sliding into the short wall in foul territory on a highlight-reel catch on Thursday night.
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 Aaron Boone and athletic trainers, Soto remained in the game and was shaking out his left leg.
\"I was really worried,\" Soto said. \"I went straight into the concrete, and when I threw the ball, I just felt a lot of pain in my kneecap. Definitely, with time, [the pain] started going down and feeling better. Definitely, it was a little scary right there.\"
Boone said Soto \"banged his knee pretty good\" and will get X-rays \"just to make sure.\"
