The Yankees have an off-day Thursday before opening a four-game house series Friday against the Red Sox.
There is something up with Aaron Judge.
Wednesday, Boone said: “Just seeing him move carefully I seemed like it was best to get him out of there.”
But Boone resolved the concept later, stating he was just trying to provide Judge rest “coming off four days on the turf” in Tampa Bay.
Judge left Tuesdays win against the Braves prior to the sixth inning, leading some to fear he was injured.
The Yankees star best fielder was overlooked of the lineup Wednesday versus the Braves due to lower-body tightness, Aaron Boone told press reporters.
Judge was to undergo treatment.
” Were wanting to go out ahead of and ideally avoid an injury moving on,” Boone stated.
Yankees lineup Wednesday versus the Braves:
1. DJ LeMahieu, 2B2. Luke Voit, 1B3. Aaron Hicks, CF4. Gio Urshela, 3B5. Gleyber Torres, SS6. Mike Ford, DH7. Gary Sanchez, C8. Clint Frazier, RF9. Brett Gardner, LF
