Soto exits Padres game after being hit by pitch

Juan Soto was hit in the shoulder by a pitch in the third inning of the game between the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks, and left the game two innings later as a result on Wednesday. 

The team has not provided an official update on the injury.

The right fielder was struck high on the shoulder and went down for a moment, but was helped up by training staff and eventually took first base. 

Trent Grisham replaced Soto in right field at the beginning of the fifth inning.

Soto was acquired by the Padres at the trade deadline in August in what can be described as one of the biggest trades in MLB history. 

In 28 games with San Diego, the native of the Dominican Republic has hit .235 with three home runs and six runs batted in across 125 plate appearances.
