With Aaron Judge's status unclear, the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees will continue their four-game series on Saturday night in Arlington, Texas.
Judge missed Friday's game, a 5-2 Rangers win, after leaving Thursday's 4-2 New York victory in the fourth inning. Judge suffered a hip injury on a slide Wednesday vs. Minnesota, a game in which he went 3-for-4 and drove in three runs."When we get [the results], we'll know," Yankees manager Aaron Boone told YES Network following Friday's loss of Judge's status. "It doesn't seem too serious. But that said, we still don't have a clear picture of it yet.
While New York awaits word on its standout, Texas aims to build on pulling out of a slump. The Rangers scored five early runs Friday, then the bullpen did its part to preserve the advantage after Jacob deGrom's early exit. The departure of two-time Cy Young Award winner deGrom after 3 2/3 innings was the result of "forearm tightness" and a "precaution," Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said in his post-game press conference.Other than deGrom's uncertainty, Friday was a positive bounce-back win for Texas.
Nathan Eovaldi will start for Texas on Saturday. The right-hander last pitched Monday in a six-inning, no-decision at Cincinnati. He had seven strikeouts, matching his season high and giving him 31 in his five starts, and allowed three earned runs on six hits.
