A little more than 24 hours have passed since Aaron Judge turned on the alarms in the New York Yankees after being injured in the first game of the series against the Texas Rangers and after losing this Friday against the Texan team 5-2, the suspense increases to know when the captain will return.
Judge underwent an MRI on his right hip this Friday, however, the results have not yet reached the medical team and coach Aaron Boone only hopes that it is not serious and that the player can join soon.
“He is perhaps the greatest player in the game and it is no secret what he means to us. Hopefully we don’t lose him for too long,” said Boone, who remains expectant about the diagnosis from the team doctors.
But there is something that causes some concern in the pilot of the New York team, and it is the fact that more medical examinations have been needed to determine the severity of the ‘Judge’s’ injury, something that from his point of view, does not seem to be something good.
It should be remembered that the 31-year-old outfielder’s physical discomfort comes after a spectacular slide he had in an attempted base stealing in Wednesday’s game against the Minnesota Twins. At that time, the player injured his right wrist but remained in the match.
For Thursday’s game against the Rangers, Aaron Judge was struck out in his first two at-bats, and it was right after that second strikeout that he felt the discomfort in his right hip, despite that, he continued and took one more at-bat but in the fourth inning. he had to be replaced by the Venezuelan Oswaldo Cabrera.
