Yankees 'Hope' Juan Soto Returns to Lineup vs. Royals Amid Injury, Aaron Boone Says

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone hopes star right fielder Juan Soto will return to the starting lineup during the upcoming four-game series against the Kansas City Royals.

"I think he's gonna do his normal, get-ready-for-a-game routine, hopefully all that goes well and he'll maybe be an option for us, maybe off the bench, we'll see," Boone said before Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, per SNY.

When asked about Soto's potential return during the Royals series, Boone answered, "That's the hope."

The Yankees and Royals play on four consecutive days starting Monday in Kansas City.
