Injuries can have a massive impact on an MLB team’s season. This has happened with the New York Yankees as their diminished squad struggles to win games. The team’s captain Aaron Judge has been the latest to be put on the injured list, leaving fans worried. But Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone recently offered a positive update on Judge.

The Bronx Bombers need their captain back and in top form. They are currently languishing at the bottom of the AL East. This most recent update on Judge provides the team with some hope going forward. 

Aaron Judge could be off the injury list by early next week

Aaron Judge joined the long list of injured Yankees players after suffering a hip strain. But team manager Aaron Boone offered a positive update after it was made public that Judge was practicing his swing. Judge starting swinging soon after being put on the injury list bodes well for the Yankees. He said that he was unsure of how long it would take for the star outfielder to recover. But that it was a close decision.

Furthermore, he mentioned that Judge’s return process will be ramped up during the weekend so he can return early next week. Talkin’ Yanks shared a video of Boone’s statement on Judge via Twitter.
