Juan Soto of the Yankees set to make comeback in lineup, starting as DH against the Royals

Juan Soto, star player for the Yankees, is set to make his return to the lineup on Monday night as the team begins a series against the Kansas City Royals. Soto has been sidelined since June 6 due to forearm discomfort. He expressed confidence in his condition after taking swings on Sunday, stating that he was feeling “good” and hopeful to play in the upcoming game.

Manager Aaron Boone indicated that Soto’s pregame activities on Sunday went well, suggesting that he was progressing in the right direction. Soto’s return will provide a boost to the Yankees’ lineup, as he has been impressive in his 64 games with the team, boasting a .318 batting average with 17 home runs, 11 doubles, three triples, 46 walks, and 53 RBI.

With Soto back in the lineup, Aaron Judge will be given a night off after playing 67 consecutive games. Judge, who leads the league with 24 home runs this season, has also contributed 21 doubles and 59 RBI to the team. The Yankees will look to capitalize on Soto’s return as they aim to secure a series win against the Royals.
