Aaron Judge may make a comeback to the New York Yankees' batting order. as early as Tuesday against the Texas Rangers, manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Monday. Nothing has been finalized yet, as Boone intends to talk to Judge once he gets to Texas.
The Judge was last played on July 25 and then sent to the 10-day disabled list moved to the 10-day injury reserve put on hold for 10 days due to an injury temporarily sidelined for 10 days assigned to the 10-day inactive roster listed as unavailable for 10 days because of an injury placed under medical suspension for 10 days kept off the active roster for 10 days due to injuries added to the 10-day bench with injury status taken out of play for 10 days following an injury suffering from a flexor strain in his right elbow. On Tuesday, Judge's 10-day injured list stay will conclude, making it the earliest possible date he can come back into the lineup as the Yankees' designated hitter.
"I'm not going to confirm for sure since I haven't met him yet, but I believe that's the intention," Boone stated, via the Associated Press I believe he is supposed to be here tonight, and we will decide then.
For the last two days, Judge has been batting against minor league pitchers as part of his preparations. If he participates in the game in Texas, he will serve as the team's designated hitter; however, he may move back to the outfield after the Rangers series concludes. Since being placed on the injured list, Judge has not yet started throwing practice sessions.
"I'm hopeful that Judge will be cleared to play catch on Tuesday or the following day, which should help us determine a timeline for his return, and then we'll assess things further once we're back home," Boone said.
A judge will take Giancarlo Stanton's place in the starting line-up as the designated hitter. Stanton homered and recorded two RBIs during last night's game in Texas.
The Yankees might be able to bring Judge back just when they need him most, with their current performance being below par. The New York team fell victim to the Miami Marlins. for the very first time this past weekend
