NEW YORK -- Padres left fielder Juan Soto was a late scratch from San Diego's 10-7 loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday because of back tightness.
The injury was announced about 10 minutes before first pitch.
The Yankees also lost Anthony Rizzo after he collided with Fernando Tatis Jr. on a pickoff attempt at first base in the top of the sixth. Rizzo was removed from the game ahead of the seventh inning for "precautionary reasons" after suffering a neck injury in the collision, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Rizzo was "fine" after going through tests postgame.
