New York Yankees: Aaron Judge’s return brings tricky expectations

It’s now been 42 days and counting without the everyday sighting of No. 99 in right field.

What has kept the Judge’s Chambers busy in the meantime? It’s been hard to rise for the Judge without one.

But regardless of how much he is missed, one thing remains uncertain. How much can be expected from him when returns to the field?

It was on July 26, as many of us are surely aware of by now when he was hit by a pitch on his right wrist which resulted in a chip-fracture. Initial reports, along with the word of team’s physician, Christopher Ahmad, projected Judge to be sidelined for only three weeks.
