In a normal year, Aaron Judge wouldn’t have been on the bench Friday night.
He wouldn’t have sat out the series finale against the Orioles last Sunday. Not at the point in the season when every game is crucial.
He missed nearly two months with a torn ligament in his right big toe, and skipped playing in rehabilitation games to help the struggling Yankees as soon as possible.“I certainly don’t like [not] writing his name in the lineup. But also, I’m really excited about his at-bats,” manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees hosted the Astros in The Bronx on Friday night. “I know he’s not physically all the way there by any means.
They have gone 4-3 since his return and have won back-to-back games over teams with winning records for the first time in a month.
