Aaron Judge’s improvements were on full display in Saturday’s win over the Astros as he crushed a 428-foot blast to right-center field for his ninth home run in his last 15 games.
HOUSTON — Aaron Judge and the Yankees both cautioned that he was not 100 percent — and likely would not be for the rest of the season — when he returned from a torn ligament on his big right toe in late July.While Judge’s two-month injury absence helped derail the Yankees’ season — though their issues stemmed beyond just not having him — they can take some comfort heading into the offseason in how he has looked since coming back.
On Saturday, though, he was able to bust it going from first to third on Jasson Dominguez’s hard ground ball to right field and then later scored on a sacrifice fly to shallow center field. “I’d be hoping that the [82] games would be somewhere in the middle of the year and not near the end of the year,” he said with a grin. “It is what it is.”
