Soto was hit on the hand by a comebacker in the ninth inning Friday and will undergo X-rays to assess any potential injury, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Soto remained in the game after being hit, though the Tigers' coaching staff noted that the spin rate on his slider was down significantly. As a result, he was checked on by trainers and pulled from the game, though not before he allowed three baserunners without recording an out. Michael Fulmer followed the southpaw into the game and would likely serve as the Tigers' full-time closer if Soto was forced to miss game action.
