Aaron Judge is the heart and soul of the New York Yankees and in his absence, this team is definitely not the same.
A week after placing the outfielder on the 10-day injured list due to a toe injury, team management is unable to comment on a potential date back in his case.
Yesterday, the Yankees defeated their archrivals Boston by a score of 3-1, but the team is playing for .500 in the last ten games.
In the absence of Judge, the Yankees offense has nothing to scare opposing pitchers, who prepare differently depending on whether or not the big number 99 is in the lineup.
Fortunately, team leaders confirm that Judge is recovering and feeling good. This bodes well because the Yankees will need a healthy Judge if they want to make the playoffs. Currently, the Bronx Bombers sit in the middle of the standings within their division and have a best second place.
Judge’s importance isn’t just evident with a stick in his hands, as the ball he caught as he drove straight into the fence to Dodger Stadium’s right field demonstrates how much he cares about this team and that he inspires his teammates just by being in uniform.
According to Gerrit Cole, the ace of the Yankees rotation, no team can do without such a dominant player who showed, before his injury, statistics comparable and even superior to last season, the same season in which he won the title of MVP in the American.
Judge has missed his team’s last six games and despite the fact that his injury is unrelated to a fracture, doubts persist as to the severity of the injury.
