NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge has been a mainstay in the New York Yankees lineup all season as he continues to put up numbers that could define his MVP-caliber 2022 season as one of the best ever.
Manager Aaron Boone, however, isn't worried about the mental or physical state of his All-Star outfielder before the playoffs while he is steeped in the chase for home run history.
Judge is just one home run from tying Roger Maris' American League single-season record of 61, but he has played in 45 consecutive games -- he also played 47 straight earlier this season.
