Aaron Judge sits with shoulder injury, but should return quickly

Aaron Judge was held out of the Yankees’ lineup for Thursday’s game against the Angels after he landed hard on his right shoulder when he attempted to make a diving catch on Wednesday, but manager Aaron Boone was optimistic he was OK.

“I think he’s fine from that [play], but it was something [Wednesday] night,” Boone said. “Before he left, I let him know he’d be down [Thursday]. I just felt like it was a good idea.”

Judge finished Wednesday’s game after the fifth-inning play. After homering in the third inning, Judge grounded out in his final two at-bats.
