Boone Makes Aaron Judge Statement Amid Return
After the game, manager Aaron Boone was asked for his thoughts on Judge (via YES Network).
Reporter: “You mentioned Judge, two hits for him. I feel like he’s finding his rhythm a little bit at the plate. How encouraging is that?”
Boone: “I feel like both nights, I think it’s all real valuable for him, just continuing to see pitches, see different pitches, have at-bats. I feel like his swing decisions have been pretty good so far. And the more we do it, obviously the more comfortable he’ll get. So good to see him throw a couple knocks out there, though. I think one on a splitter and then turned around a good heater in his last at-bat.”
Social Media On Judge
Here’s what people were saying:
Bryan Hoch: “Aaron Judge has his first hit since returning from the injured list, a third-inning single to left field.”
@TalkinYanks: “Aaron Judge finishes with two hits on the night as Jasson Dominguez enters as a pinch-runner”
@YankeeReport_: “Aaron Judge played 8 innings in his second game back after playing 6 last night. He went 2-for-4 with 2 singles, a run scored and a strikeout. Expect him to get tomorrow off as he ramps up.”
Looking At The Yankees Ahead Of Thursday

They are the second-place team in the American League East with an 83-62 record in 145 games.
