The New York Yankees have been eagerly awaiting the return of Aaron Judge to their lineup after he suffered an injury earlier this season. Judge, the 2017 AL Rookie of the Year, was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 20th with a strained left oblique.
The Yankees have been without their star slugger for the last two months, but the wait could soon be over. According to manager Aaron Boone, Judge could return to the lineup as early as Friday when the Yankees take on the Baltimore Orioles.
Judge has been working hard to get back on the field and has been participating in simulated games and batting practice for the past few weeks. He has also been taking part in conditioning drills and running sprints to test his oblique.
The Yankees are hoping that Judge’s return will give them a much-needed boost as they look to make a push for the playoffs. He is one of the most feared hitters in baseball and his presence in the lineup will be a huge boost for the team.
Judge’s return will also be a welcome sight for Yankees fans who have been missing his powerful bat and electric energy in the lineup. His return could be just what the team needs to make a deep run in the postseason.
It’s unclear how much playing time Judge will get when he returns, but it’s clear that his presence in the lineup will be a huge boost for the Yankees. With Judge back in the lineup, the Yankees could be one step closer to a World Series title.
