Aaron Judge’s return to the Yankees lineup on Tuesday after a stint on the IL means someone will be coming off the 26-man roster.
after a stint on the IL means someone will be coming off the 26-man roster.
A roster technicality related to Franchy Cordero’s roster spot prevented Judge coming back Monday return from a hip strain, so the Yankees got an extra day to figure out who will be shed to bring the reigning MVP back aboard. Here are five players who could be impacted by joining the injured list, being optioned to the minors or being designated for assignment.Robert Sabo for NY PostThe top prospect hasn’t played since rolling his ankle on Wednesday. Even before the injury, he wasn’t getting everyday at-bats despite showing versatility to play shortstop, second base and third base. He could be put on the injured list or sent to Triple-A.
“He’s moving pretty well,” Boone said. “[Sunday] I had him [available] in a hitting situation only. He’s been day-to-day, but we also don’t want to jeopardize him at all or put him in a bad spot.”It seems the switch hitter has found a niche starting against left-handed pitchers, as he did Monday for the fourth time in a week’s span. Hicks’ seven-year, $70 million contract runs through 2025, so cutting him feels like it will be delayed as long as possible.
