Soto will undergo X-rays on his left knee after crashing into the wall in the seventh inning of Thursday's game against the Mariners, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Soto made a sliding catch in foul territory and landed hard into the wall. He remained in the game, and the imaging is considered precautionary. However, Soto added after the game that his availability on Friday against the Athletics is in question, depending on his level of soreness.

Yankees' Juan Soto: Swipes sixth bag in win
Rotowire
Soto went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Mariners.
Soto walked and stole second in the opening frame but was left stranded as the Yankees' offense failed to get much of anything going throughout the contest. He then added his 30th double of the campaign in his second trip to the plate and went on to reach three times in the contest. Soto has hit safely in each of his last three games, while the stolen base was his first since July 10 against Tampa Bay. He's batting .255 (14-for-55) in September with three homers, seven RBI, 11 runs and 14 walks.

Yankees' Juan Soto: Reaches 40 homers
Rotowire
Soto went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer, two walks and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
Soto's home run in the fourth was the 200th of his career, and the 25-year-old now has his first 40-homer season and a home run in every single MLB ballpark. Soto hasn't been hitting the ball all that well lately but has still managed to reach base 12 times over his last eight games despite a .214 average in that span. For the year, he's slashing .287/.417/.576 with 103 RBI, 120 runs, five steals and a 121:110 BB:K in 671 plate appearances.
Soto went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a 4-3 extra-inning win against Kansas City.
The Yankees were being shut out by Cole Ragans until Soto swatted a go-ahead two-run shot to right field in the sixth inning. The blast was the star outfielder's 39th of the season and pushed him to the 100-RBI mark. It's the third time in his career that Soto has reached the latter total, and with one more homer he'll have his first 40-homer campaign.
Soto went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Wednesday's 10-6 loss to the Rangers.
Soto had gone eight games without a homer entering Wednesday, his longest drought since June 4-14. The outfielder's blast got the Yankees on the board in the fifth inning, but they weren't able to overcome an early deficit after the Rangers padded their lead in the late innings. Soto is up to 38 homers, 98 RBI, 112 runs scored, five stolen bases and 28 doubles while slashing .295/.423/.592 through 136 contests.
