The Yankees received some encouraging news today concerning Aaron Judge’s hip injury, maintaining the hope that he will not be placed on the IL.
The absence of Judge in the lineup could cause the Yankees to struggle, but fortunately, it seems that may not be the case. Jack Curry of the YES Network reported that Judge has a minor strain, which is a far better outcome than initially feared.
Curry stated, “Judge has a mild strain at the top of his hip, according to Boone. The Yankees will wait a couple of days to see if he continues to improve and if he can avoid an IL stint.
