Aaron Judge is Back in the Lineup Despite Early Exit Against Colorado Rockies
The New York Yankees announced their starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies. Captain Aaron Judge, is back in the lineup after concerns from fans following an early exit in his first game back.
“Aaron Judge is back in the lineup,” Yankees beat writer Gary Phillips wrote on X. “No Jazz Chisholm Jr.”
Judge felt physically fine despite his removal from Tuesday night’s game. However, he was not happy that he only played half a game.
“I feel great, I played half a game,” Judge said last night. “I get paid to do this, so I gotta go do it. That’s the end of it. I get paid to go out there and give my best to the New York Yankees and these fans.”
