Yankees will hold Aaron Judge (neck) out of Sunday's simulated game
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said right fielder Aaron Judge (neck) is 'still a little stiff.'
What It Means:
Judge is not in the team's starting lineup for the simulated game. Judge missed spring training with a fractured rib and punctured lung, but the delayed start gave him plenty of time to recover from those injuries. The Yankees are likely just playing it safe with their slugger.
numberFire projects Judge for a 0.272 batting average in 2020, with 13 home runs, 37 runs, 32 RBI, and 1 stolen base.
