NEW YORK — The Yankees positioned Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured record with a proper hip pressure, retroactive to Friday, previous to Monday’s collection opener towards the Guardians at Yankee Stadium.
Judge has not performed since Thursday, when he exited New York’s 4-2 win over the Rangers within the fourth inning with what the workforce described as a small pressure close to the highest of his proper hip, as confirmed by an MRI. Judge sustained the harm sliding headfirst into third base on Wednesday towards the Twins.
“I think we’ve known that it’s a minor thing, but the risk which we’re weighing is we don’t want to put him in a position where he goes out and compromises somewhere else, and the injury becomes something else or worse,” supervisor Aaron Boone mentioned. “That’s the most important factor.
“He’s feeling pretty good, and his recovery has been good each and every day. The injury is minor, but we’re playing the long game here. At the same time, we don’t want to just say, ‘Oh, you’re on the IL.’ We want to make an honest assessment of where he’s at.”
Though Judge was listed within the third batting follow group for Monday’s recreation, he didn’t seem on the sphere pregame. Instead, Judge carried out his work indoors, together with warmups and throwing.
In a corresponding transfer, New York recalled infielder/outfielder Franchy Cordero from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Cordero had been optioned to Triple-A over the weekend, however he rejoined the membership on Sunday at Texas as a taxi squad member.
The reigning American League Most Valuable Player, Judge is batting .261/.352/.511 with six dwelling runs and 14 RBIs in 26 video games this season. He performed in 157 of New York’s 162 regular-season video games final yr.
“I think Aaron’s being realistic. He understands what’s at stake and that it’s important,” Boone mentioned.
