Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton Likely to Miss Yankees' Opening Day

The New York Yankees will likely be without star outfielders Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton on Opening Day as they deal with minor incidents.

Judge will undergo further testing to examine the soreness in his right pectoral area near his shoulder. He first reported the discomfort Friday during batting practice in an indoor cage. He has yet to take batting practice outdoors during Spring Training.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters that Judge has been feeling better.

“Right now, more likely than not I don’t see him being ready for Opening Day because of the time frame: 3½ weeks,” Cashman said, according to The New York Post.
