Last night Shane Robinson was in the starting lineup for the fifth time in the last six games and the eighth time in the last 13 games. He’s on the roster because Aaron Judge is out with a chip fracture in his wrist and he’s been playing so much because Giancarlo Stanton is nursing a tight hamstring and the Yankees don’t want to risk making it worse with too much outfield time.
Robinson has been in the lineup regularly the last two weeks and he may not come out of the lineup anytime soon. Following last night’s game Judge, who saw the doctor for a checkup yesterday, told Mandy Bell his wrist is “still fractured” and he’s not yet been cleared to swing a bat.
