Until I see Soto playing again, I'm nervous about all of this. I don't trust the Yankees and the statements they release.

My biggest concern about Soto is that he is a guy who plays every day. If he's sore enough to actually tell someone, I feel like something is wrong. Between that and the nature of the complaint, forearm tightness, is often a predecessor to TJS.
If Soto does land on the DL, I hope the Yankees don't rush Dominguez back. His bat certainly seems ready but I'm in no position to judge if his body is ready. Heck, I'd rather have them sign Cavan Biggio than rush Dominguez. Pereira is listed on the 7 day DL in Scranton but he's eligible to come off, though I've read nothing of the actual injury.

If Soto has a few days off or need to just DH for a few games tell Stanton he needs to play OF. If the team is in a pinch dude needs to play.

Seeing Grisham in the lineup makes me irrationally angry.
