Aaron Judge Expected To Hit Friday
9 months agoNew York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he expects outfielder Aaron Judge (abdomen, oblique) to hit in camp on Friday, and if he does, he will be back in the team's Grapefruit League lineup on Saturday. The 31-year-old All-Star slugger is dealing with soreness in his abdomen/oblique, and he claims it's a byproduct of all the extra swinging he did in the offseason. A report surfaced on Wednesday night that Judge is also still dealing with pain in his toe after he missed almost two months with a torn ligament in his big right toe in 2023. It's not what fantasy managers that plan to invest their first-round pick in Judge want to hear, but the Yankees remain optimistic that the former MVP will be ready for Opening Day on March 28.
