OAKLAND, Calif. — New York Yankees star right fielder Juan Soto was scratched from the lineup a day after hurting his left leg sliding into a wall to make a catch.

Soto was originally in the lineup for Friday night's series opener against the Oakland Athletics but was pulled out after reporting soreness and swelling in the leg.

Manager Aaron Boone said X-rays were negative and Soto will not need additional testing. Soto hurt the leg Thursday in Seattle when he slid into the short wall in foul territory down the right-field line while making a highlight-reel catch.

He remained in the game. Boone said Soto is day-to-day. The manager noted that he wasn't «overly concerned» that the injury will linger into the postseason.
