Juan Soto launches go-ahead Yankees homer after injury scare

The Yankees had done little against opposing lefty Cole Ragans, who had not allowed a base runner to reach second base, when Soto drilled a pitch off the top of his right, front foot in the sixth inning.

The superstar hobbled about halfway to first base before taking a knee.

A team trainer examined the foot for a few tense minutes before Soto rose and made his way back to home plate to a loud round of applause.

Two pitches later, Soto demolished a 2-2 knuckle curve deep into the seats in right and watched it go for his 39th home run of the season.
