Yankees star Aaron Judge’s injury questions erased with Aaron Boone’s latest move

Aaron Judge recently underwent an MRI on his abdominal muscle area. Although the results came back clean, Judge did not commit to being ready for Opening Day. Judge, however, is expected to re-join the Yankees lineup on Saturday which is a tremendous update for his Opening Day availability.

“Aaron Boone said via the @YESNetwork that he has Aaron Judge penciled into Saturday’s lineup,” Chris Kirschner of The Athletic wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Judge’s plan over the next few games was also revealed, per Pete Caldera of USA Today Network.

“Aaron Judge penciled in to start in CF vs. Toronto this Saturday afternoon at GMS Field, per Boone. Plan is to rest him Sunday, when Yankees visit Boston at Fort Myers, then start Judge again Monday at Tampa,” Caldera wrote on X.

Of course, the Yankees still have other injury concerns to worry about. Gerrit Cole is expected to miss at least one-two months due to an elbow injury. However, the Cole update is actually a positive one as the results of his MRI could have been much worse. Nevertheless, Cole will be missed to begin the season.

As of this story’s writing, however, Judge seems to be alright.
