Aaron Judge returned to the Yankees’ lineup Friday night against the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium, but a right shoulder issue led Aaron Boone to using him as the DH instead of in right field.
“Judge, maybe a little bit,’’ Boone said when asked if the shoulder played a part in keeping Judge out of the outfield. “Decided today, certainly he could have played the field, but felt like let’s get him back in the DH role. I felt like that made good sense [Friday]. I feel like he is doing OK.’’
Judge had no problem swinging the bat in the Yankees’ 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays Friday night when he homered in the fourth and doubled in the eighth.
