New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto had a milestone game for several reasons in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Mariners. Soto went 2-for-2 with a double, a two-run home run, and two walks. The 25-year-old lined a fourth-inning Bryan Woo fastball over the center-field wall for his 40th HR of the season and the 200th of his career. Not only did he become the eighth player to reach 200 HR before turning 26 years old, but Soto's homer in T-Mobile Park completed his quest to hit a HR in all 30 current MLB ballparks. Soto is having a career power season, slashing .287/.417/.576 with 120 runs scored, 103 RBI, and five stolen bases in 671 plate appearances. He has been a high-end fantasy player throughout his career and has fit in perfectly with a strong Yankees lineup. Despite being a free agent at the end of this season, Soto will continue to be a top fantasy pick regardless of where he lands.

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto hit a go-ahead two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Royals in a 1-for-5 day at the plate. The blast came in the sixth inning of a tight 1-0 ballgame and in a tough matchup against All-Star left-hander Cole Ragans, sending Yankee Stadium into a frenzy. Soto is in the midst of another fantastic season, although the home run comes during an uncharacteristic cold spell for the superstar, having gone 3-for-21 (.143) over the last six games with eight strikeouts. For the year, the 4x All-Star owns a robust .289-39-100-115-5 line with more walks (117) than strikeouts (105), leading to an elite .418 OBP.

USA TODAY baseball columnist Bob Nightengale reported on Tuesday the Toronto Blue Jays will "take a shot" at signing New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto once he becomes a free agent this fall. The Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, and New York Mets are expected to compete with the Yankees for Soto, who is hitting .293/.420/.585 with 37 homers, 96 RBI, a league-leading 110 runs scored, and five stolen bases in eight attempts with the American League East Division leaders, who acquired him in a trade with the San Diego Padres last winter. Fantasy managers can envision a Blue Jays lineup with Soto and Vladimir Guerrero Jr in the middle of the lineup if the Blue Jays can bring in Soto.

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto will be the biggest free agent on the market this winter, and ESPN's Jeff Passan writes that high-ranking front office and ownership-level sources think that it will come down to a bidding war between the Yankees and New York Mets. The industry agrees the floor for Soto's next contract will be $500 million. The Red Sox, Cubs, Dodgers and Angels could likely afford Soto but are long shots to make a real push. Believe it or not, the four-time All-Star will turn just 26 this October. He's already considered one of the best all-around players of his generation and has excelled in the Bronx, slashing .291/.421/.590 with a 1.012 OPS, a career-high 37 home runs, 95 RBI, five steals and 108 runs scored in 130 games played. It seems hard to believe that the Yankees will let him walk out of the Bronx, and if he does, it might not be to go very far.

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto socked his career-high 36th home run of the year with five RBI in Wednesday night's blowout win over the visiting Cleveland Guardians in the Bronx. Soto set the new career high with a two-run homer off Guardians left-hander Joey Cantillo to give the Yankees an early 2-0 lead in the first inning, later poking a ball down the left-field line for a bases-clearing double to break the game open and give New York a 7-0 lead in the fourth frame of Wednesday's rout against Cleveland. Over his last 29 games, the 25-year-old perennial All-Star is hitting .321 (36-for-112) with 13 big flies, 10 doubles, 27 RBI, and 31 runs scored.

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto continued his excellent offensive season in Tuesday's 9-5 extra-innings loss to the Guardians. Soto went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk, and a strikeout. The 25-year-old got things started for the Yankees, lining a first-inning Matthew Boyd offspeed pitch just over the right-field wall to score the first run of the game. Soto has been just as good as fantasy managers were expecting, even better in the power department. He now owns a .299/.431/.603 slash line with 35 HR, 104 runs scored, 88 RBI, and five stolen bases in 562 plate appearances.

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto hit a personal milestone in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox. The 25-year-old hit his first career three-home run game, going 3-for-4 with two solo home runs, a two-run HR, and a walk. Soto provided all of his team's offense, hitting all of his long balls over 103 MPH with the longest landing at 416 feet. As expected, Soto has been one of fantasy's top hitters and has benefitted from hitting atop one of baseball's best lineups. He now owns a .306/.434/.608 slash line with 33 HR, 100 runs scored, 86 RBI, and five stolen bases in 539 plate appearances.

He now has 30 home runs with a 1.018 OPS as pitchers can't seem to figure out a way to get him out.

The superstar slugger went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in the blowout win. Soto has been on fire with nearly 20 hits over the last week and a half. It appears Soto is setting himself up for a significant contract once he reaches free agency. Fantasy managers should continue to ride with Soto through the last few months of the season.

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto continued his fantastic first season in the Bronx Sunday afternoon, going 3-for-5 with an RBI-double and a run scored in a 6-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Soto almost kept the Yankees' comeback hopes alive as his RBI hit brought the tying run up into the bottom of the ninth inning before Aaron Judge and Austin Wells were retired to end the game. The soon-to-be free agent has scorched the baseball in the three games after the All-Star break, going 8-for-13 which has raised his season batting average to a stellar .307. It looked like for the last couple of seasons that Juan Soto was going to regret rejecting that $440 million offer from the Nationals, but after the 2024 season he's having, assuming he continues this for the remainder of the season, it wouldn't be shocking for him to get offers in that range during the 2024-2025 offseason. Look for him to continue to be a spark plug in front of Aaron Judge for the remainder of the season.

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto hammered the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays in Friday night's win in the Bronx, racking up four hits with three runs scored in the victory.

Soto has now recorded multiple hits in five of his last six outings.

The 25-year-old has a stellar .300-23-66-75-5 line with a .427 wOBA and 183 wRC+. As usual, he's walking a ton as well -- more than he is striking out -- with a 79:67 BB:K.

Soto still plans on playing in next week's All-Star game, though. The 25-year-old superstar outfielder also went 2-for-3 with a double, home run and two walks in Thursday's loss to the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays, so his hand can't be bothering him too much. He originally injured his hand back on June 28 but has gone 9-for-36 with two home runs, four RBI and five runs scored since. While it's something to watch, fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as long as it's not costing him any time or negatively affecting his swing. Soto now has 22 home runs on the season in 91 games and was named to his fourth All-Star team this year in his first season in the Bronx.

Aaron Judge is manning right field on Saturday and batting third, while Trent Grisham is in center field and in the nine-hole for the Yankees against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Monday to see the results of Soto's tests.

Fantasy managers likely don't have much to worry about when it comes to Soto's hand issue but this is certainly a development to keep an eye on in case a surprise comes to light during his imaging.

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto provided a lot of offense Friday night going 2-for-4 with a three-run home run while pitching in another run scored in a 16-5 massacre of the Toronto Blue Jays Friday night. The Yankees were trailing 3-1 in the sixth inning when Soto turned on a 3-0 fastball right down the middle to give the Yanks a 4-3 lead. The soon-to-be-free-agent slugger has been a dream for the New York Bombers this season with a .302 batting average, 20 home runs, and 60 RBI. Look for him to continue to be the front end of one of the best one-two punches baseball has ever seen.
