Yankees Mason Williams Still Has Superstar Potential Despite Setbacks

According to Sweeny Murti of WFAN, the New York Yankees expect to be without starting right fielder Aaron Judge for the remainder of the season after the 24-year-old suffered a strained right oblique in Tuesday night’s 3-0 victory over the Dodgers.

In his place, New York has called up the outfield phenom who predated Judge on the top of most lists of Yankees prospects, Mason Williams. Ranked the number one prospect in the system by Baseball America as recently as 2013, Williams has struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness the past few years, but has seen his stock uptick slightly since the beginning of 2015.
