The rightfielder slammed hard into the wall in foul territory pursuing a fly ball, but after several tense minutes stayed in the game.

Two days after speaking openly about his upcoming free agent bonanza, New York Yankees star right fielder Juan Soto found himself on the ground at T-Mobile Park on Thursday, having smashed his knee left on the wall while making a sliding catch.

Pitcher Clarke Schmidt couldn’t handle a two-on, one-out bunt that loaded the bases for the Mariners, then left fielder Jasson Dominguez dropped a routine flyball, turning what should have been a sacrifice fly into a run in with the bases still full.
