I have been very critical of the Yankees medical staff. Simply put, I never believe anything they say and I don't think they resemble anything close to "medical experts." After all, Aaron Judge's collapsed lung and fractured rib screw up was just an epic failure that will never be forgotten. So, for now, Soto's x-rays have come back negative.
But I'm not convinced we are out of the woods yet. Even though x-rays came back negative, Aaron Boone has called the injury "concerning" and now they are considering doing an MRI or CT scan today in New York, read more HERE. If Soto was good enough to play yesterday, why are the Yankees talking about doing more imaging?
Serious question. Are they hiding something? If there was any doubt about Soto playing yesterday, why was he on the field? Aside from the argument that he wanted to play and he's a gamer (which I don't doubt at all), that would mean there is more risk to consider there. I really hope this is just a deep bruise, which is what the Yankees have been calling it this whole time but.....history tells us it's not unreasonable to ask some questions here.
The Yankees have had a painful freefall recently. Judge and Soto are the offense on this team, they are doing all of the work. Any missed time or missed calls by the Yankees medical staff that takes Soto out of the game is going to be devastating. I just don't trust the Yankees right now.
I'm glad the Yankees have a day off. Hopefully Soto's hand continues to get better and we get some good news headed our way. We've had enough adversity lately so the last thing we need is news that Soto's injury is worse than we thought.
So here's me putting good vibes out into the universe on a Monday. We will have good news on Soto and we won't have to listen to Baboone talk anymore, because I can't take anymore Boone babble either. Fingers crossed.
