Saturday afternoon, Yankees beat reporter Sweeny Murti of WFAN tweeted that 24-year-old outfielder Aaron Judge will rejoin the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Railriders in the next 4-5 days after missing more than two weeks with a knee injury.
Judge originally suffered the injury while diving for a ball in right field on July 8th against the Rochester Red Wings. He attempted to stay in the game, but limped off the field after having difficulty running out a ground ball.
The International League Player of the Month for June disappointingly ended up missing both the Triple-A All Star Game and Home Run Derby contest because of the issue, but it’s good to see one of the Yankees’ most talented young players return to the field so quickly.
