Judge Eyes Wild Card Return Despite Injury Concerns
24 Sep
Summary
- Aaron Judge targets Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series.
- He was recently placed on the injured list for a calf strain.
- Manager Boone expressed uncertainty about his availability.
Aaron Judge has stated his aim to be available for Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series, scheduled for Tuesday. This comes shortly after he was placed on the injured list last weekend due to a right calf strain.
The star player's declaration presents a different outlook than that of Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who had indicated earlier on Wednesday that Judge's availability for the Wild Card Series was uncertain.
Judge's physical condition leading up to the postseason series, anticipated to be against division rivals the Red Sox, is a significant storyline. While he is expected to be on the roster, likely as a designated hitter, questions persist regarding his full physical readiness.
