One month and one day ago, the Yankees placed Aaron Judge on the disabled list with a chip fracture in his right wrist. He was hit by a Jacob Junis fastball — unintentionally — and did actually remain in the game a few more innings before being removed. Judge even picked up a single in his next at-bat before exiting the game. Pretty badass.
The Yankees initially announced Judge’s recovery timetable as three weeks — Aaron Boone said it was “pretty realistic” for Judge to be playing in games three weeks out — and holy cow were they wrong.
