The injuries just keep piling up for the Bronx Bombers as power hitting right fielder Aaron Judge has become the 13th Yankee sent to the injured reserve list, just three weeks into the season. Judge was in immediate discomfort after swinging at a pitch during his sixth inning at bat in the Bombers 9-2 win over Kansas City. Judge was immediately taken to a local hospital for an MRI that confirmed the strain and prompted the roster move. No timetable has been set for his return.
The 6’8″ 282 pound Judge was off to a fast start this year, hitting .288 with excellent power numbers, and playing his usual defensively solid right field. Judge had a break out year in his 2017 rookie season hitting .284 with 52 homers and 114 runs batted in. Judge was limited to just 112 games last year after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch but still hit .278 with 27 homers and 67 RBIs.
