The Yankees recognize the importance of keeping Aaron Judge on the field, which is why manager Aaron Boone rested the slugger twice this week to address what the club described as “lower body soreness.” That time off seems to have worked wonders.
Judge cleared the fences twice, including a grand slam, pacing the Bombers’ five-homer barrage in a 10-0 rout of the Tigers on Friday evening at Yankee Stadium.
Supporting a sterling 12-strikeout effort by ace Gerrit Cole, Judge rattled the glass over Monument Park in the third inning facing left-hander Tarik Skubal, then launched a grand slam to right field in the fourth against right-hander Buck Farmer.
