New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto hit a go-ahead three-run shot in the 10th inning to power the Yankees to a victory in the ALCS on Saturday over the Cleveland Guardians. During this game, Soto went 3-for-5 but was able to drive in the game-winning run to bring the Yankees back to the World Series for the first time since 2009. In the 10th inning, Soto would hit his third long ball of the postseason off Cleveland right-hander Hunter Gaddis. During October, Soto has carried a stellar .333/.439/.667 slash line. The 25-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic debut season in the Bronx, as he has boasted a .419 on-base percentage with 41 home runs, and he will remain a popular pick in DFS during the World Series.
New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto flexed his muscles in the team's 8-6 victory over the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on Friday night in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series by going 1-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored, a walk and a strikeout. Soto's home run was a two-run shot off right-handed starter Gavin Williams in the first inning, and it was his second long ball of the ALCS against Cleveland. The win gave the Yankees a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Aaron Judge has been cold in the postseason, but Soto and Giancarlo Stanton have picked him up offensively. Soto is now hitting .286 (8-for-28) with two home runs, a double, five RBI, seven walks and five runs scored in eight playoff starts this October. He'll look to keep it rolling in Game 5 on Saturday against right-hander Tanner Bibee.
New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto got the scoring started on Monday versus the Guardians, putting the team up 1-0 with his first home run of the postseason on the way to a 5-2 series-opening win. The 25-year-old went 2-for-3 in the contest with a walk, an RBI, and one run scored. Through five playoff games, the superstar is 6-for-17 (.353) with three RBI, two runs scored, and a 4:5 BB:K. Soto has been a constant offensive force in pinstripes this season and he'll look to keep rolling on Tuesday when the 4x All-Star squares off with Cleveland's Tanner Bibee, a righty who he is 1-for-2 off of with a walk in his career.
The Athletic's Matt Gelb writes that the Philadelphia Phillies will be connected to New York Yankees impending free-agent superstar outfielder Juan Soto all winter. The Phillies' outfield was one of their biggest weaknesses in 2024. However, one of the New York teams will be the favorite to sign Soto to what will be a massive contract. Soto has kept a close relationship with Phillies hitting coach Kevin Long, and in a worst-case scenario for the Phils, they could at least raise the price for a rival to sign Soto. The team might not move on from either Brandon Marsh or Johan Rojas, but both could become trade candidates. Nick Castellanos remains entrenched in right field with two years and $40 million left on his contract. Soto had a phenomenal first year in the Bronx with a career-high 41 home runs, 109 RBI and a league-high 128 runs scored and would certainly make Philly even more of a force to be reckoned with if they could manage to sign him.
New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto is not in the starting nine as the Yankees wrap up their 2024 regular season playing host to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Yankees clinched the top seed in the American League on Saturday and will give their superstar outfielder a day off ahead of the playoffs. Soto started in 157 games this summer and held a stellar .288/.419/.569 line with 41 long balls. Under the hood he boasted an MLB-best 18.1% walk rate and 57.0% hard-hit rate. As a result, Jasson Dominguez and Alex Verdugo will flank Aaron Judge in the outfield. The Yankee bats are worth a look in DFS this afternoon as they will face Pittsburgh southpaw Bailey Falter who enters Sunday with a 4.26 ERA.
