Annoying twist of fate ruins Yankees’ chance to replace Aaron Judge with Spencer Jones

The sky is no longer fully falling in the Bronx. It's just sprinkling a little. After an afternoon spent wondering whether Aaron Judge was about to become the sixth Yankees position player to undergo Tommy John surgery since 2017, New York got a temporary reprieve, as Judge will instead miss 10+ days with a flexor strain.

That leaves a short-term hole to be filled rather than a power vacuum, and whether it's true or whether the Yankees just want you to believe it, it seems they seriously considered Spencer Jones for the job anyway.
