MILWAUKEE — Aaron Judge has played in every Yankees game since the beginning of last month — and the slugger who is chasing history isn’t likely to sit anytime soon. It’s not the chase for 61 that has the Bomber pushing, it’s winning the American League East and clinching their best playoff position.
“I feel like physically he’s in a really good spot,” manager Aaron Boone said Friday afternoon before the Yankees opened a three-game interleague series against the Brewers at American Family Field. “I hope we get to a point where I can give him a day. Having three off days and eight days is part of the equation, though and very beneficial, I think at this point.
“There were those couple of days where I was able to get you know, all DHs for like three games in there, including the doubleheader, but I feel like he’s doing really well, physically really, as good as he’s been at any time at this point in the season,” Boone continued. “So it’s something I’ll continue to be mindful of and watch. Like I said, hopefully we get to a point from a victory standpoint that I can give him a day.
