TAMPA, Fla. -- Aaron Judge arrived for the New York Yankees' first day of full-squad workouts Tuesday feeling exponentially better than he did at this time a year ago.
What a difference a fully healthy offseason can make.
After slogging through rehab from a shoulder surgery conducted just after the 2017 season, Judge was limited in the work he could do when the Yankees arrived to spring training last February. This year, despite his having broken a wrist last season, the story was far different for him.
"The majority of my offseason last year and the majority of spring training was just getting healthy," Judge said.
