The New York Yankees are in full-on “wait-and-see” mode with their main man Aaron Judge, and honestly, who isn’t? Yankees fans will know by tomorrow if their three-time MVP is even gonna be on the Wild Card Series roster squaring off against the Boston Red Sox. This series kicks off Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium, making tomorrow’s announcement a huge deal for the team and the entire city.
Judgey Pushing Hard Behind the Scenes
Judge has been doing everything in his power to get back on the field after that calf strain, seriously. We’re talking indoor hitting and throwing yesterday, and he might even participate in live batting practice today. The guy’s been grinding on an anti-gravity treadmill, saying it’s been “feeling great,” and he plans to hit that thing again today, potentially even moving to outdoor running. He knows the risks, but he’s clearly comfortable making this call. “We’ll see what we’ve got,” he said, and you gotta respect that hustle.
The Trainers Hold All the Cards
Yankees manager Aaron Boone is playing it super close to the vest, not revealing whether his captain will be in the Game 1 lineup. He said they’ll “listen to the trainers and medical, and see where we’re at,” which means those trainers have the final say. There’s a real possibility that calf hasn’t healed enough in the last few weeks. The bottom line is the Yankees are a “completely different team without Judge.” Tomorrow’s the day we find out exactly what version of the Bronx Bombers will be taking their positions.
So, get ready. Tomorrow’s the reveal, and then it’s game on for the Wild Card Series on Tuesday night.
