Aaron Judge update
The last time we saw Aaron Judge was just over two months ago on May 31st, before he suffered a stress fracture in his right rib. The Yankees placed Judge on the 10-day injured list on June 5, then transferred him to the 60-day IL. More than 60 days have passed since the Yankees moved him to the 60-day IL, and there is no concrete timeline for his return. There is a belief from within that he could return at some point in September.
In the most recent update, doctors have cleared Judge for running and upper-body resistance training. Judge and Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke on the update after Judge’s first day of workouts.
“I’ll be back this season,” Judge said. “I don’t know why I wouldn’t be. That was always the plan, to come back sooner than later, definitely. I never had a thought of not playing this year–I just got the scan (Tuesday) and the minute they said we’re going to start running, I said, ‘All right, I’ll see you outside.”
“It’s more symptom-based now as he starts to introduce things,” Boone said. “So the running outside is new, and some of the upper-body resistance stuff he’ll be able to do. Then as he tolerates that, we’ll start moving into baseball activities at some point.”
Since Judge’s injury, the Yankees have gone 28-27 and rank towards the bottom of the league in batting average (.221, 30th), OBP (.283, 30th), OPS (.672, 27th), and runs per game (3.93, 26th).
The Yankees are 10-9 since coming out of the All-Star break and are gearing up to play the Atlanta Braves in their next series beginning on Friday. They just lost a series to the Cardinals.
