The Tampa Bay Rays are preparing to face the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series, despite the uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge's availability due to an injury. Manager Kevin Cash expressed concern about Judge's potential absence, stating that he had assumed the player would be ready a week prior. The Yankees are expected to make a final determination on Judge's status for Saturday's Game 1.
Judge's absence would present a challenge for the Rays, as he has been a key player this season, having overcome a calf injury and missing the AL Wild Card Series due to another injury. Nonetheless, the Rays, who clinched the best record in the American League during the regular season, remain a formidable opponent. The Yankees have been outstanding in their pitching throughout the season, making them a dangerous team even without Judge.
The Rays acknowledge the challenge but are confident in their overall talent. The first game of the ALDS is set to take place on Saturday evening at 6:30 PM ET at Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay.
