MOOSIC, PA—Aaron Judge’s possible final night with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders was rather uneventful.
Yet, all indications point to Judge returning to the Yankees’ lineup Friday.
Judge looked comfortable and confident in his play at the plate in his customary two-hole and in right field Wednesday night—not showing any signs of a problem from his oblique injury that has kept him sidelined 53 games—in his second game with the RailRiders after a three-game stint with the Single-A Tampa Tarpons.
He went 0-2 with a walk and left the game after the sixth inning likely a precaution after a steady driving rain developed two innings earlier.
