That’s something wrong with Aaron Judge.
The Yankees star right-backs field player was left out of the lineup against the Braves on Wednesday due to lower physicality, Aaron Boone told reporters.
“We hope to move forward and hopefully prevent an injury from happening,” Boone said.
Judge rounded out Tuesday’s win against the Braves for the sixth inning, leading some to fear he was hurt.
But Boone dismissed the notion, saying he was just trying to give Judge rest “on the turf for four days” in Tampa Bay.
On Wednesday, Boone said, “Just when he saw him walking cautiously, I felt it best to get him out.”
Judge had to undergo treatment.
The Yankees have an off-day Thursday before opening a four-game home game against the Red Sox on Friday.
Yankees lineup Wednesday against the Braves:
1. DJ LeMahieu, 2B
2. Luke Voit, 1B
3. Aaron Hicks, CF.
4. Gio Urshela, 3B
5. Gleyber Torres, SS
6. Mike Ford, DH
7. Gary Sanchez, C.
8. Clint Frazier, RF
9. Brett Gardner, LF
