NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Yankees are putting on a pretty brave face right now.
When superstar outfielder Aaron Judge injured his right wrist on July 26, the Bombers estimated that it would take around three weeks before he’d really be able to swing a bat. Well, Thursday marks three weeks since he was drilled by Kansas City’s Jake Junis and not much has changed. The 2017 AL Rookie of the Year has done some baserunning and light outfield work, but has yet to pick up the lumber.
The Yankees continue to say he’s close, but the concern over the possibility of the injury being a bigger deal than anyone thought is there.
