Judge Update
Ahead of Tuesday’s game, the Yankees announced an update on Aaron Judge.
He has been out since May 31 with an injury.
MLB.com wrote (on August 18): “Will be introduced to hitting progression during the week of Aug. 18. Has been performing swing-related pool exercises. “Hopefully that goes well; I don’t know when he’s scheduled to hit yet,” manager Aaron Boone said Aug. 18.”
Judge is in the middle of his 11th season.
He had been coming off a year where he won his third MVP Award.
Social Media Reacts
Here’s what people were saying:
@MrGamer40037663: “My Captain is fighting to get back soon 🥰”
@RasheeTouchdown: “Are we ever going to get a timetable?”
@unseth_ted: “I’ve NEVER seen a bad Yankee offense when we have Judge, Stanton, and Bellinger all in the lineup.”
@rationalyankee: “We’ve all been praying for Judge to return and help save the Yankees offense. And he’ll obviously help. But I don’t think the Yankees’ offense can truly become a consistent force unless the guys who are in there and healthy right now start to produce more. Baseball is not the kind of sport where 1-2 guys can come back and fix everything.”
@KennyDucey: “Yeah we’ll see him in March”
@7achmartin: “WORLD SERIES RUN STARTS NOW”
@tearsofvelvet: “SEASON IS BACK ON”
Eric Hubbs: “This is the news we needed to hear”
@YankeesFanEarl: “Everything is a little too positive right now that means a gut punch is coming soon”
Randy Wilkins: “This is the best news of the day outside of them winning the game tonight.”
@TheBambinoBabe2: “Carlos back Cody starting his rehab Judge hitting Stanton on his way Fried injury not that serious WE’RE BACK”
Looking At The Yankees Right Now
