Yankees Announce Encouraging Aaron Judge Update Before Red Sox Series
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone shared that Aaron Judge is making progress with his injury with the playoffs almost here.
The New York Yankees are set to start their AL Wild Card series against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, and the team has provided a hopeful update regarding star player Aaron Judge. During a press conference, Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed that Judge is making progress in his recovery from a calf strain. Boone mentioned that the slugger has been participating in hitting practice, although the weather prevented them from conducting outdoor drills.
Boone expressed optimism about Judge's condition and stated that he is likely to be part of the team for today's game.
Judge's potential return to action could be a significant boost for the Yankees, as he is their best player. Since his last appearance on September 16 against the Minnesota Twins, Judge has been sidelined due to the injury. If he is cleared to play in the upcoming series against the Red Sox, it would be a major milestone for the team and a strong statement about his recovery progress.
During the 2025 season, Judge posted impressive numbers with 53 home runs, 114 RBI, and a .331 batting average in 152 games. His absence in September created a noticeable void in the Yankees' lineup, and any indication that he will be ready to contribute during the playoff series will be eagerly anticipated by fans and analysts alike.
