Aaron Judge Out At Least Three Weeks With Chip Fracture In Wrist

By Steve Adams | July 27, 2018 at 12:17pm CDT

July 27: The Yankees announced that Judge has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. Infielder Tyler Wade is up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take his spot on the roster for the time being. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal first reported (via Twitter) that Wade would be recalled.

July 26: The Yankees announced after tonight’s game that an MRI revealed a chip fracture in Aaron Judge’s right wrist — specifically, in the ulnar styloid bone. He’ll head to the disabled list and won’t be able to swing a bat for an estimated three weeks, though he won’t require surgery. Judge sustained the injury when he was hit on the wrist by an errant fastball from Royals righty Jakob Junis.

Obviously, the significance of any absence for Judge can’t be undersold when the Yankees are just four and a half games back from the Red Sox for the division lead in the American League East, though surely the Yankees are breathing at least a mild sigh of relief. Given the proximity of the fracture to Judge’s hamate bone, the 2017 AL MVP runner up could’ve faced a considerably more significant stay on the disabled list and surgical repair if the pitch had caused a hamate fracture.

That said, Judge is in the midst of yet another brilliant season, hitting .285/.398/.548 with 26 home runs. He’s leading the team in that category as well as on-base percentage, slugging percentage and RBIs, among other offensive categories. With Judge on the shelf, the Yankees will presumably deploy Giancarlo Stanton as the primary right fielder, with Brett Gardner in left and Aaron Hicks in center field.

Were Judge in line for a lengthier absence, it’d be conceivable that Yankees GM Brian Cashman would be motivated to add a bat to replace the lost production. But with Judge apparently likely to return by mid-August, it’s unlikely that the injury will prompt a significant move; even after Judge had sustained his injury, for instance, Fancred’s Jon Heyman tweeted that while the Yankees have considered Mike Moustakas previously, they still believe his asking price to be too high. Furthermore, Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets that he suspects the Yankees will stick with internal options rather than pursuing even stopgap options on the trade market (e.g. Cameron Maybin, Jose Bautista).

          Guess ur another never saw Rice or would realize ur comment is 100% wrong in HIS case. Rice lost many HR’s that turned into singles because of the wall. His power was to LF, but he hit hard liners that mostly had fairly low trajectory. His power played everywhere.

          Make such a negative and untrue comment with regards to a HOF player, make sure witnessed them.

        Timing is everything. Rice was injured at the end of the year and missed the full playoffs. For those too young to remember, view the Time-Life DVD set of the series. Quality is what it is but 40+ years later it still shines among all of the best played Series. Cecil Cooper was also young but he was overmatched as his replacement.

          Bunting is the worst, dumbest thing in baseball. Hitters are there to hit not purposely not hit to give their out away for nothing. Sure, lets have a guy who has practiced HITTING his whole life, go and do….something else?

          I hate bunting and small ball way more than the shift. Station to station is where its at and more exciting. Homers & K’s > SB’s & bunting

        Average rotations don’t have legit Cy Young candidates and 4 starters who can put ace like numbers or average ones depending on day. It’s a shaky rotation for sure but certainly better than average.

        Sanchez and Judge are now both gone for at least 3 weeks so they don’t need the DH for rest, they need the DH for someone that can hit and hit with power. Once those 2 players get back, Moustakas can go to a bench bat which the Yanks are in dire need of anyway.

        If the Yanks make the WS and all players are healthy, they will most likely carry 13 hitters into the series. Baring anymore trades that leaves a bench of:

        Romine
        Walker
        Frazier
        and who? Maybe Austin? Maybe Torreyes?
        (and of course Garnder or Hicks in an NL park)

        I’d rather have Moose coming in to pinch hit for a pitcher late in the game than Austin. So there is a need if they can get him for prospects they won’t use anyway.

    Joel Sherman reported it will be 3 weeks before Judge can swing a bat in a game. If it takes that long before he can swing a bat in a game, he will be out longer for 3 weeks. He’ll have to do a rehab assignment to get some at-bats to get back in a groove. It’ll probably be closer to 4 weeks if you factor in a rehab assignment. Still, it is better than being out for the season for the Yankees.

      Even w/ all those OF hits, Stanton Gardner Hicks solid.

      Hicks may have single-handidly saved today’s game with game ending assist gunning down Alex Gordon. Guy has arguably the strongest, most accurate throwing arm in the majors. It’s always a pleasure to watch him. Still remember that 105 MPH throw (ML record) threw the runner out.

      Long story short, happy Hicks may finally see regular PT from 4th OF.

        I hate that word “trolling” I follow this team quite alot, and just gave you proof of Cashman’s genius. All those OF hits, (that many people may not have been aware of) and yanks don’t need to make a desperation trade for OF. Only reason they traded Cave was because they never imagined it would get to a point where they might need him. And they still might not need him Lol. Yankees’ OF depth never ceases to amaze me

        Mr. Cashman, if you’re reading this, thanks for all the work you’ve done throughout the years!

      I would definitely look into signing Hanley for a Minor league deal because he could supply some pop and let’s really hope Frazier gets healthy very soon as well as Gary Sanchez because I have a feeling Judge is going to be out for at least 4-5 weeks so something has to happen even if they have to go back to Baltimore and see if they will take a few low level prospects for Adam Jones.

          The Mets are horribly run, I’m pretty sure we all can agree with that. So what I’m looking forward to is the Yankees having to face Oakland/Seattle in the play-in game. All of Cashman’s admittedly great maneuvering and Stanton gifted to him for spare parts….and they *still* are in trouble headed into the playoffs w a rotation of Severino, CC, Happ, and Gray. I still think OAK makes it and beats them in the play-in game.

        Though it must be frustrating for Frazier to FINALLY have a sustained opportunity to play and be on the DL again with concussion symptoms. This could have been his try-out for next season, now he’ll likely have to earn it in Spring Training.

          Indians are a 1st place team.

          And as a Yankee fan my fingers are crossed that their struggles against the likes of the Mets, Rays, and O’s was a first half aberration, or bad luck. Perhaps rejuvenated from the acquisitions at the deadline their luck improves down the stretch.

          Some perspective is in order though. The Yanks lost 3 of 4 against the O’s but it was in April, and one of the losses was an extra inning one-run game. They won 2 of 3 against the Mets in June, Swept a shortened 2-game set against the O’s just prior, and both of the Yanks early July losses to the O’s were one-run affairs, as were the two losses this past week against the Rays.

          That said, the Yankees MUST take advantage and beat teams they should beat, regardless.

          If they had won all of those one-run games against Baltimore and Tampa Bay, they’d be in first place. If they lose a wild card game, or even the ALDS, those are the games to blame it on.

          The Yankees have a very soft schedule in August with lots of home games so they can probably weather the storm losing Judge for most of August. I expect that they will make a run at the Red Sox there schedule is that easy in August. Once September rolls around the schedule for the Yankees is significantly harder and lots of road games. It will be an interesting finish to the AL east. August is the key for the Yankees. As Red Sox fan if the Red Sox still have the lead after August I feel pretty good about winning the division.

    The Yankees are THIN for OF right now, so looking outside the org could make sense. I think Joey Bats would be a great fit for them. Veteran hitter who has had a bounceback season and played better than most everyone expected. He has actually played decent corner outfield defense and could be a useful bat off of the bench. He is making the league minimum and is in a walk year. The Yankees could trade for him with a low-level prospect and some int’l $. Lord knows the Mets aren’t going to extract great value for him.

    780 OPS & 116 OPS+ for the season and 821 OPS & 129 OPS+ since joining the Mets.
