In a series dubbed a litmus test for two title-driven teams, New York finally overcame its new star's absence Sunday — after the Dodgers exposed some of the Yankees' roster flaws.
NEW YORK — It didn't take long for the Yankees to get used to Juan Soto's bat in the lineup, but it quickly became a form of torture for their offense to operate without him. To open the first two Soto-less games of the Dodgers-Yankees series, the Bronx Bombers went 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position and left 19 men on base.
It was clear he tried his best to bring the same positive energy off the field, but the look of agitation in his eyes from being unable to play told a different story. It's foreign for Soto to be a spectator. This weekend was his first time being out of the lineup since Oct. 4, 2022. He played in all 162 games last year, and the first 64 games of this season, too. We can safely assume that, in those 612 days between, something, at some point, had afflicted Soto.
