New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Monday he plans to bench right fielder Aaron Judge in order to "refresh him and get him going," YES Network's Jack Curry reported.
Aaron Hicks will start in right field for the Yankees in their game against Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians on Monday night.
Judge was a revelation to begin the regular season, to the extent he was building a legitimate case to be an MVP candidate. However, the right-handed slugger has struggled mightily in the second half of the year.
