On Friday, the New York Yankees will be at Chase Field for a series with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
There will be a lot of eyes on their starting lineup for the game.
Aaron Judge left Wednesday’s 5-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins early.
It’s unclear if he will be available against Arizona.

Ahead of Friday’s game, Michael Kay (via The Michael Kay Show) revealed he was next to manager Aaron Boone at the gym in Arizona.
Kay: “I’ll give you a little insight. Working out today, early in the morning… I’m working out next to Aaron Boone, and I said, ‘How’s Judge?’ And he said, ‘Really don’t know.’ I don’t know if he was just being coy, but he said, ‘I’m not sure.’ Didn’t say he’s great, didn’t say there’s something wrong with him. Could have said he’s great, could have said he’s fine, he said, ‘I don’t know.’ It looks like not only is it day-to-day, but it might be minute-to-minute.”
