    • Initial imaging shows inflammation
      Soto received a preliminary diagnosis of left forearm inflammation after undergoing medical imaging Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. He's out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: The 25-year-old was removed from Thursday's contest with left forearm discomfort, which he apparently has dealt with throughout the past week. Soto will sit for at least one game, and his outlook for the immediate future remains a bit murky. The initial reports are an encouraging development and indicate he may have avoided a serious injury, however. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:09 pm

    • Records fourth steal
      Profar went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Profar is batting well lately, going 12-for-35 (.343) over his past 10 contests. His steal Thursday was his fourth of the season and his first since May 15. The outfielder is up to a .323/.418/.480 slash line with eight home runs, 38 RBI and 34 runs scored through 263 plate appearances, putting him on pace to shatter his career highs in nearly every category if he can maintain his current levels of production.

    • Set for imaging
      Soto (forearm) will undergo imaging Friday after experiencing forearm soreness during Thursday's game against the Twins, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: Soto didn't return to Thursday's game after a lengthy rain delay. The move was framed as a precautionary measure by manager Aaron Boone, though he also disclosed that Soto has been bothered by forearm discomfort for the past week. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Yankees be cautious with Soto in the short term, though the team has not announced any official plans. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:30 pm

    • Juan Soto (forearm) to undergo further testing
      Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters late Thursday that Juan Soto will undergo further imaging on his left forearm.

      Advice: Boone added that Soto has been playing through a lingering forearm issue for roughly a week at this juncture, which he’s continued to receive treatment to address, but he didn’t want to risk sending him back out there following a lengthy 56-minute rain delay during Thursday’s contest against the Twins. The 25-year-old fantasy superstar will undergo some precautionary imaging to determine the severity of the issue. There should be an update on his status ahead of Friday’s highly-anticipated series opener against the Dodgers. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Boone also told reporters that top prospect Jasson Domínguez, who is in the final stages of his rehabilitation process from Tommy John surgery, is the only healthy outfielder on New York’s 40-man roster at the moment and could be brought back in an emergency situation, if needed.

    • Goes deep in loss
      Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

      Advice: Suzuki took Hunter Greene deep in the third inning for his seventh home run of the season. The outfielder now has three long balls over his last seven games, and he's batting a .308 during that span. Suzuki's numbers don't always jump off the page with a .781 OPS, but he's a fairly consistent contributor who gets plenty of playing time, which allows him to make an impact in most fantasy formats.

    • Early exit Thursday
      Soto was removed from Thursday's game against the Twins in the sixth inning due to left forearm discomfort, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Soto didn't return to the field after a lengthy rain delay, though the exact nature or cause of the injury remains unclear. Alex Verdugo entered the game in left field, with Aaron Judge shifting to right. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:18 pm

    • Juan Soto leaves game with forearm discomfort
      Juan Soto was removed from Thursday’s series finale against the Twins due to left forearm discomfort.

      Advice: Soto was 0-for-1 with a pair of walks before leaving the contest following a 56-minute rain delay prior to the sixth inning. It certainly sounds like his exit was merely for precautionary reasons, but there should be an update on his status prior to Friday’s showdown against the Dodgers. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. It’s unclear whether they’re linked, but top prospect Jasson Domínguez was lifted from a rehab contest for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre shortly after Soto’s early exit. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:16 pm

    • Moving to second base
      Castro started at second base and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Yankees.

      Advice: Castro has played several positions this season and has moved frequently during games, but he's now set to start mostly at second base due to Edouard Julien being sent to Triple-A. He'll likely soon accumulate enough games at second base (three games played at second this season) to qualify at another position in most formats. (He's already played more than 10 games at third base, shortstop and outfield.) Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:59 am

    • Rejoins starting nine
      Donovan (neck) will start in left field and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: Donovan is back in action Monday after a stiff neck kept him out of the entirety of the Cardinals' three-game series with the Phillies over the weekend. The 27-year-old had been serving as the Cardinals' leadoff man against right-handed pitching prior to suffering the neck injury, but Donovan may have lost that role to Masyn Winn. The second-year shortstop will bat atop the order in the series opener in Houston while Donovan drops to sixth against Astros righty Justin Verlander. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:10 pm
