Judge Hopes to Be Ready for Playoffs and Stanton Could Return for Yankees After 5 1/2-Month Absence
- New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge intends to return from his right calf strain and play in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series next Tuesday. "That's what the plan is," he told reporters.
- Following a Grade 2 calf strain on Sept. 16, Judge received a platelet-poor plasma injection to accelerate his recovery after missing over three months earlier this season with a fractured rib.
- Manager Aaron Boone recently expressed pessimism about Judge's availability, though he struck a more positive tone on Wednesday, noting the team is waiting to see how the next few days unfold.
- Entering Wednesday, the Yankees went 41-25 with Judge, averaging 5.12 runs per game, while they are 49-42 and averaging 4.15 runs without him this season.
- If New York wins the Wild Card Round, they would open the American League Divisional Round on Oct. 3, with the American League Championship Series beginning Oct. 12, 26 days after the injury.
