Latest On Aaron Judge’s Shoulder Injury

By George Miller | February 29, 2020 at 3:34pm CDT

Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge underwent testing this morning to examine his right shoulder, reports Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network. Manager Aaron Boone told reporters including Erik Boland of Newsday that all those tests—including an MRI—have come back negative thus far, but Judge will noentheless undergo further testing on Monday.

As of now, there’s still no timetable for when Judge might appear in his first Spring Training game, but Boone remains optimistic that his start right fielder will be ready for Opening Day.

Judge reportedly felt discomfort under his right pec while swinging this morning. The 27-year-old hasn’t taken batting practice on the field yet this spring, with the injury restricting him to taking swings in indoor cages. On Thursday, we heard that Judge would be out another week while recovering from the shoulder soreness.

The Yankees’ battles against injuries have been well-documented, and this spring has largely been a continuation of a 2019 season that was played shorthanded. If Judge’s shoulder issues turn out to be something serious, he would be the fifth core Yankee to hit the shelf with a significant ailment, joining outfielders Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Hicks and pitchers Luis Severino and James Paxton.

Judge personally has had his own struggles with health, missing a significant portion of each of the last two seasons due to oblique and wrist injuries. After his historic rookie campaign in 2017, we’ve yet to see a full year of Judge, who’s in the inner circle of baseball’s best players when he’s on the field. Here’s hoping that 2020 is the year Judge gets a full year of action.

        The Yankees got busted for stealing signs in 2017 too. Cheating is cheating no matter how its done.. You should know that since they rolled through the late 90s winning a few WS with a sighificant number of Yankee players on PEDs.

          Actually, the Yankees got fined in 2017 for improper use of a dugout phone (their pitching coach would call their video replay coordinator to confirm if the previous pitch was actually a strike or a ball). If you did 20 seconds of research before posting you would’ve found that information.

          Yes and as we know, mlb ALWAYS gets it right. Honestly, the yankees cheat. So do the Red Sox. Everyone knew about the Astros, both of those teams certainly did. They worked on devising signs that were tougher to crack. Meanwhile, mlb did nothing. We are in a world where heresay becomes fact merely by repetition. So if people are going to say the Red Sox cheated or the yankees cheated it just will morph into reality. BTW, bucky dent knew the pitch before he swung the bat. Oh well.

          No, the Yanks didn’t steal signs in 2017. The Sox accused them of stealing signs. They were investigated. The accusations were found to have “no merit.” They were fined for having a phone. No cameras. No stealing signs. By now you should have your facts straight.

          Girardi CLAIMED they were only monitoring pitch location and not signs.. Right — 1. you have a camera in CF labeled “Yes Network” that never shows the pictures to the viewers. 2. you illegally use the bullpen phone to report in real time to the dugout.

          Why do all that –risking fines and more –but not look at the signs.??

          Sure but we don’t pay for rings, yankees field the highest payroll yearly consistently top 4 the last 40 years. Yankees fans like to deny dodgers winning in 2017 despite being up 3-2 with a 3 run lead at astros only to have signs steal the victory. But sure keep on the narrative the dodgers never win, 2 World Series appearances and yearly trips to playoffs is all you can ask for from a franchise.

          In 2017, the Yankees went to 7 games with the Astros in the ALCS. You’re saying that the sign stealing stole a championship from the dodgers, but in no way impacted the Yankees chances to make the World Series? Solid logic.

      I also haveas a borderline unhealthy aversion for whineyass Doger fans and their team who havent havent finished the mission in over 34 years and are compelled to blame their lack of character and inability to finish on everyone else.

      Russianblue35 Thing is Judge is extra valuable to the Yankees imo. He’s loved by the fans and the face of the franchise. Probably has been selling more jerseys then any other Yankee since coming up and breaking out as a star. Perfect personality off the field too.

      If he’s still playing at a star level there’s almost no way they let him walk. He is their core piece. I don’t think the negative reaction Boston ownership got for trading Betts would even compare to the negative reaction the Yankees would get for trading or letting Judge walk in FA.

        Judge has the top selling jersey in MLB for past three consecutive years. More than Trout or Harper. It really comes down to how Judge plays the next couple of years. Betts won an MVP and a WS for the RS. It’s pretty devastating for their fans to see him gone. The Yankees won’t grade Judge

    You have to consider the trainers that the Yankees have. True, they’re a deep team, but imagine what they could do if everyone was healthy for a change…

    In my opinion, Stanton’s and Judge’s body type (they’re huge men) indicates they’ll break down faster than say, a Rickey Henderson/speedy smaller guy.

        Being on the field doing whatever you could to help your team win when you were much less than 100% was much more important to a player in the past than protecting his stats.

        Not having these insane contracts looming on the horizon influences whether or not some players might try to play through an injury – meaning their pocketbook and/or future team is more important than the one currently employing you.

        The game needs to go back to shorter deals and load them up with incentives. We might see “smarter”, “healthier” and much “tougher” players in the game.

        Older generational players were hurt too, the difference is the played through it because a star at 70% was better than his replacement, playing for his job or was more concerned about a win that day, not if his power numbers might suffer if his shoulder was sore.

    Tony Conigliaro hit 36 homers with one eye. That’s why there’s an award named after him. We can’t compare eras because a lot of those players from back in the day had to make the money just to survive. Now they build their brand so they can cash in beyond the millions of their salaries. It’s a different world now.

      Amphetamines, morphine shots, roids, coke, etc. Anything to keep them on the field. Full muscle tears were also common. No MRI scans to detect strains or partial tears which prescribes rest.

      Tony C had just turned 22 when he became the youngest AL player ever to hit 100 HRs. A record he still holds. A few days later he was beaned.

        He came back and had two productive seasons and the idiots traded him. The Betts trade is nothing new.

    Judge just needs to stop lifting weights. He goes from weight lifting to the field and this is why he keeps getting hurt. After lifting (which causes slight tears in your muscles), your body naturally tightens up the muscles you just isolated in your workouts to allow them to repair. Judge goes out after this and swings a bat, which requires you to be loose and limber. This is why he is constantly incurring muscle pulls, lat strains, shoulder stiffness, etc. If he wants to be an all time great, he needs to completely change his workout routine and focus on flexibility and building lean muscle mass vs. trying to look like Adonis. Stanton could use some of the same changes too.

      Excuse me doctor, but what about all the players that lift weights and don’t get hurt as often? The logic in these comment sections kills me.

        They’re all smart enough to take ice baths and get bodywork immediately after lifting before hitting the cage. Duh!

      There’s your hundred dollar winning response of the day. Well done! Ps, agree 100%. Lets ask Nolan Ryan, Jim Thome, Hank Aaron, Tom Seaver, Mike Schmidt, Cal Ripken and Albert Pujols how much heavy weight training they did? Then go look at the backs of their baseball cards to see how many games they missed.

    I love how people blame doctors for injuries and never give them credit for the health of the players. What sound logic…

    I’m no fan of the Yankees, but it’s unreal the injuries they have been forced to contend with these last few years. I realize they have an elite payroll, but to battle through the adversity they encountered in 2019 and nearly make it to the World Series, it was an achievement in itself. I’m a braves fan, but the postseason is always more interesting with the Bronx bombers.

    At this point, the injuries shouldn’t be a surprise. Look at the back of these guy’s bubble gum cards and you’ll see the same thing. A consistent history of injuries. Hicks, Paxton, Stanton, Judge, and Sanchez are hurt pretty much every year.

      Can attest to that. Think they lost over 1000 games worth due to injuries last year. Uh it is getting pretty ridiculous.

    Dear imindless, your name is apropos. Uh, lets look at recent history. 11 years since last Yankees championship. True. Last Dodger championship? 1988. If my math is correct that means it has been 32? years since the old team from Brooklyn last won? Aaaannnnnd kinda hate to be that guy but I think the Yanks have 27 championships to the Dodgers 6? Aaaaaaand the Dodgers have always been living in the same neighborhood as the NYY for a long time as far as payroll, so, sorry bud, your high horse seems a little too high for ya.

    As a baseball fan I would love to see a full year of Judge…as a Red Sox fan I’m not saddened by his brittleness. These guys have the best equipment and training personnel and they fall like flies. Maybe there was something to the old days when the back of a guys baseball card proclaimed they spent the offseason selling cars or hunting and fishing.

      We live in a 24/7 news cycle today. You get a blister and it gets retweeted a thousand times. Players still got hurt in the old days and we would only know when they actually hit the DL in tomorrow’s paper. The lesser players weren’t even reported. Many simply are never heard from again and forgotten.

    …and yet players still want to lift weights to see how strong they can get in the upper body. Whatever happened to stretching and being limber? All these muscles and missed games due to strains, pulls, tears, etc. Billions of dollars spent on players who are huge due to weight training whose bound up bodies let them down.

    I understand weight training for endurance, tone, flexibility and easily carrying your weight with strong lower bodies and so on. Tight, bulky and inflexible muscles rip. I don’t understand the importance of weight training to bulk up and overlooking keeping those muscles as loose as possible.
