The New York Yankees have failed to do well since the start of the 2023 season. Although they had a slow start, it was steady, all thanks to Aaron Judge’s performances and leadership. Judge kept them in the run even with continuous injuries on the squad. But things have been different since Judge himself got injured. Though the latest update has significantly boosted the hopes of Judge’s comeback, it has garnered terrible fans’ reactions.
Given that it was a ligament tear, it had a terrible effect on the Yankees captain. But he continued to work on his health and now showing better results, which keeps him on the touchline of MLB return. If he returns in the coming week, it can propel the hopes of making it to the playoffs, but fans think otherwise.
Aaron Judge Is Progressing More Than Ever in His Prolonged Recovery Journey
The Yankees are very much dependent on their team captain Aaron Judge. He is the leader at the plate, in the outfield, and in the dugout. However, an injury halted all his actions on the baseball field and forced the team on the back foot.
There were concerns that Judge might need a surgery. But the latest video, shared by Talkin’ Yanks reading, “Aaron Judge is running the bases for the first time since his injury,” suggests that the 2022 MVP is doing better.

let's hope they're not rushing him back to protect Boone and Cashman

Yankees are definitely going to rush him back, skip rehab assignments and put him at risk of re-injuring it, all in a desperate attempt to save Brian Cashman’s pathetic roster
