Cashman Optimistic That Judge Will Be Ready For Start Of Season

By Jeff Todd | May 14, 2020 at 5:33pm CDT

Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge appears to be making quite a lot of progress while awaiting word on whether and when the season will occur. GM Brian Cashman says the organization is “excited to believe that he’s going to rejoin us at full capacity,” as Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

The “very unique” rib injury suffered by Judge has been complicated to treat and largely defied clear timelines. It’s rather notable, then, to hear Cashman speak with such clarity on the matter.

Though specifics on Judge’s readiness and the 2020 season schedule aren’t yet known, it sounds as if Judge would be ready to go for a shortened Spring Training that could launch in June. With little time for all players to ramp up for a compressed season, it’ll be critical for the towering outfielder to get himself to 100% before baseball re-launches.

Cashman indicated that Judge isn’t fully out of the woods yet. Imaging “shows the healing” and has left the team hopeful of “expected healing moving forward,” says Cashman, so it sounds as if there’s a lot of progress but also some ground left to be covered.

    I hope he does well. Every fan of an opposing team wants them to be at full strength. I hope the kid Judge does well n comes out swinging.

    Very unique? Could you pass that language over the Atlantic and let us fix it for you?
    Missing baseball, sigh, keep up the good work MLBTR, you’re helping keep me sane.

        I unfortunately agree. But I’m typically pessimistic so take it with a grain of salt. I want to see baseball as much as the next guy but the players don’t want to take less pay, rightfully so, and the owners don’t want to lose money, rightfully so. Serious question though. If there is no season and the players don’t get paid does that count as a year of their contract?

          Yes, even with no season and no pay (besides the 3%), this will count as a full year of service time for players and a full year against their contracts too. So players like Mookie will be free agents even in 2021 even if 0 innings are played this year.

          There will be NO season. Have you heard the players talk? Nobody wants to play for half a salary or 1/3 of a salary.

          They don’t want to go out there risk getting sick and getting a portion of their pay. Not happening this year folks. Sorry to say it.

          Yeah, not sure why having that opinion makes us morons. It’s a well founded argument. What’s your argument for why there will be a season?

      I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t, but I hope there is, just because I really want baseball back.

      At the very least, he doesn’t need to be doing interviews without parental supervision.

    I had to laugh. Are we really talking about a player who might be ready by the start of a season when we still don’t know when the season will start.

    Yes him too. Agree 100% They both strike out too much. Yankees need more contact hitters throughout their lineup
