Soto finished 3-for-4 with two runs scored courtesy of his solo homer in the seventh inning before connecting on a three-run blast in the eighth, giving him 25 on the season. He continues to be the anchor for fantasy managers as he is slashing .311/.435/.594 with a 1.029 OPS to go along with 71 RBI while scoring 82 runs, tying him with Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. Soto has also added five steals which furthers his status as an untradeable asset.

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.
