NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Aaron Judge immediately knew something was wrong. He’d been hit by pitches before, and they never felt like this.
A day later, the New York Yankees slugger could smile. Sort of. His fractured right wrist will put him out for three weeks, not the rest of the season.
“It could’ve been a lot worse,” Judge said Friday night.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said it was “pretty realistic” that Judge should be able to play a game in three weeks. Asked whether that would be a minor league rehab appearance or a return to the Yankees’ lineup, Judge said he thought it meant the majors.
