Aaron Judge Exits With Calf Issue

By Connor Byrne | August 26, 2020 at 8:17pm CDT

8:17pm: Judge left after experiencing tightness in his “calf area,” manager Aaron Boone told James Wagner of the New York Times and other reporters. Asked about a potential MRI for Judge, Boone said, “We’ll see.”

8:06pm: Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge didn’t get through his entire first game in his return from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Judge departed after five innings against the Braves, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. It’s unclear why Judge exited, but the team replaced him with Clint Frazier while nursing a 1-0 lead.

Judge’s latest IL stint came as a result of a mild right calf strain that shelved him for the minimum period of time. Yet another notable injury for Judge would be a significant blow to an injury-battered New York club that entered Wednesday night with four straight losses and now sits a game and a half back of the Rays in the AL East. The Yankees do own a wild-card spot right now, but they’re in a weakened state with DJ LeMahieu, Giancarlo Stanton, Gleyber Torres, James Paxton and Zack Britton on the IL.

As has been the case throughout his career, Judge has been one of the driving forces behind the Yankees’ success this year. The hulking slugger has slashed .292/.343/.748 with nine home runs in 71 plate appearances a month into 2020. There’s no realistic hope of replacing that production, though Frazier, Aaron Hicks and Mike Tauchman have also provided above-average numbers from the Yankees’ outfield. On the other hand, the long-steady Brett Gardner has gotten off to a woeful start this year.

          Very unfortunate. As a Sox fan, I try to be unbiased. Great talent who just can’t stay on the field. Imagine how much his health has cost him. Had he stayed healthy, $200m + deal was certainly awaiting him in free agency. Now, ???

          The clubs do take out injury insurance policies on players and are able to recoup a % of their salary payments. So a large contract isn’t that bad if the player is often hurt. Your paying for the potential and will gladly pay if it’s there. It’s a lot better than it used to be when the owners paid for previous performance, the player then sucks but is never hurt and they pay it all out and get nothing back and no production to boot.

        • Dorothy_Mantooth

          3 years ago

          No, Thomas & Winfield were just naturally huge human beings. While Judge has a big frame himself, he is a bodybuilder. Bodybuilders don’t fare well in baseball because their workouts cause their muscles to become way too tight and it’s very hard to get loose enough to play a game with so many hard stops and starts. Until Judge puts down the weights and focuses mostly on flexibility and core strengthening, this will continue to plague him every season.

        • looiebelongsinthehall

          You’re dreaming unless the new CBA radically changes and Judge suddenly stays healthy.

        • smuzqwpdmx

          Thomas wasn’t naturally huge, he was a bodybuilder (a pretty extreme one). And he’d have been hurt a lot more if he hadn’t become a DH so young, probably.

        • paddyo875

          3 years ago

          That has to die with stretching and flexibility, you can build muscle to a degree and still maintain flexibility. I agree with you generally though, often people focusing more on anaerobic exercise often neglect the additional stretching of the muscle fibers needed when building muscle mass.

          Frank Thomas came out of the womb at 200 lbs! The guy is massive. Yes he lifted weights but he never was a body builder. Much different than what Judge does. FT played a lot of first base in his time too (early on of course).

      People said the same thing about Stanton. All it takes is one awesome season at the right time before his next contract, and teams will once again be tantalized over the prospect of what he COULD do if he could stay healthy. I don’t see him having an issue getting a massive payday.

        to be fair, most of Stanton’s early injuries were fluky (ie hit in face with pitch, strained muscle swinging too hard, etc) didnt become chronic until after the contract.

        Phnxdark 23, I just wrote the opposite, not seeing your post. Even if he has a great season leading up to free agency, even the Yankees will be hesitant to tack on years. Perhaps a creative deal like Boston did with Lackey could be worked out but he only has two more years to prove his health.

        You’d obviously need to dump him after he gets hot again and stays healthy for a stretch. For example, he comes back in a week or so and stays in for the remainder of the season with nice numbers. Then I’d ditch him.

        “Tough to get fair value for an amazing talent who is always hurt.” No. It’s super easy! Barely an inconvenience! Simply take into account that he is always injured when you do your ask. Plan your return accordingly. You won’t get the return you would expect if he was healthy, but since he isnt, that’s fair!

      dave frost nhlpa No other team wants Stanton with that contract attached either. I don’t think it’s too crazy to consider moving Judge but the only scenario I see that happening is if Judge is set to hit FA after the season and the Yankees aren’t competitive that year.

      Judge is a huge fan favorite and great personality for NY, and to have in their clubhouse. Arguably the face of the franchise these days too.

      The only way Stanton gets moved is if the Yankees eat 50 – 60% of the money owed to him over the 7-8? years remaining on his deal. If they were to find a team willing to do this, they’d have to take back a bad contract too (like an Upton) and wouldn’t get much of a prospect back either. The Stanton deal was by far the worst move of Cashman’s career. It was easy to see he was Pujols 2.0 and his contract has already become an albatross while he’s still in his prime. Imagine how bad it will be in 2-3 years? They’d better be careful with the upcoming Judge contract as it looks like he could very well be Stanton 2.0 and having these 2 huge salaries along with Cole’s could sink the club for a 1/2 decade, unless they are willing to spend $300M+ per year and pay the steep penalties / draft pick losses associated with exceeding the CBT max threshold. The Yankees will already be in CBT purgatory next year even with Judge a year away from free agency. It only gets worse from there as Torres will continue to see a huge raise in salary. In 2-3 years, they could have 5 players making close to $150M/yr. It seems like some major trades/payroll trimming might in New York’s future, so perhaps they do end up trading Judge after all.

        They wont be able to trade Stanton- They wont trade Judge they will just let his contract expire and keep their eye on the bidding when it unfolds-

        The Yankees payroll is actually very very manageable starting just next year and they would have no problem operating next year under the CBT and be highly competitve as well

        Now they might not be able to re-sign a Dj Lemiue or pick up a gardner option but for the most part your going to see the big guys signed here play with each other for quite a while

          There is no way the Yankees start next season under the CBT unless they are willing to tank the season to reset. The already have $140M in guaranteed contracts, with 9 or 10 players arbitration eligible (including Judge, Torres & Sanchez) and they are losing 3 starting pitchers to free agency. The only way they stay under the CBT would be to not sign a single starting pitcher, let DJL walk, do not pick up Gardner’s option and most likely non-tender Sanchez and let him walk too. This would significantly weaken the Yankees roster and I just don’t see them doing that.

        If the Yankees take on the full amount owed to Odor and agree to pay 50% of Stanton’s remaining contract obligations then Texas just might bite on that. Miami still owes NY close to $30M towards the Stanton contract (I believe $20M next year if he doesn’t opt out, plus the $10M buyout on his option year the end of the contract). Texas would take on about $100M for the next 7 years of his deal if this were to happen.

    Didn’t Judge say he felt fine last time? Now ten days later it happens right away

    Despite the injuries the Yankees could still get a huge haul for him if they decided to trade him. They have depth and a need for starting pitching. Maybe to Cleveland for Clevinger and Lindor? I know that’s unrealistic, just having fun speculating

      Lindor and Clevinger?

      If Cleveland traded Lindor for Judge, you’d have to ADD to Judge to get Lindor. Cleveland would never add to Lindor for Judge.

      Lindor is every bit the star Judge is, plays a premium position and is not always hurt. Lindor has 30/20 talent. LOL, then you want an ace pitcher on top of it?

      Cleveland is a low budget team. They cut their payroll to under $100M this season. There is no way they’d trade Lindor for Judge when they’ll have to pay Judge $25M-$30M starting in 2022. Cleveland wants young, controllable stars for any deal that’s includes Lindor or Clevinger. If they could somehow find that money, they’d just resign Lindor as he is more valuable than Judge for sure. 30 out of 30 GMs would take Lindor over Judge; all around he’s the superior player.

      I wouldn’t. They could go under .500 for the rest of the season and still make a playoff spot.

      The Yankees biggest injury this year is DJL. He is the cog that makes their entire offense click. If they can get DJL back along with 1-2 others then I would not count them out. They still have a great bullpen and Tanaka seems to be turning a corner. They just need a 3rd starter to step up and they could be very dangerous come playoff time.

        Defensively, yes, but there are plenty of outstanding, glove first center fielders that can be had in place of him, especially since he can’t stay on the field for 140 games given his past injury history and Boone’s managing of the lineup because of it!

    I proposed a question a few years ago, would you rather 8 years of judge or Conforto and I got laughed away. My argument being that he will breakdown a lot faster than an above average player who has a “normal” body style. Now I know anyone can breakdown at any point but the odds are and we’re a lot higher in judges direction and that seems to be fully the truth

    Some Yankee fans spittballing the idea of trading Judge. It’s a little difficult putting my finger on how much I myself value him so I’m curious.

    What kind of package does everyone think it would take to land him? Everyone is welcome to comment of course but I’m really hoping to see some Yankee fans responses.

      I believe Judge has two years of control left, but it’s going to be an expensive two years via arbitration. Given his injury history, the Yankees wouldn’t get fair value for him, but they should be able to net (2) Top 100-125 prospects plus a veteran to help offset his increasing arbitration salaries. It really depends on what the Yankees are looking for. They might want younger MLB players who have already proven themselves in the majors instead of prospects since they are built to contend now. Judge seems to be the face of the Yankees so I highly doubt they do trade him unless they determine they need to get under the CBT and cannot find a way to move their other expensive players.

        I said value for value only because I was interested in how much he is worth. So for my purposes, I wasn’t interested in what the Yankees need. Just value in a vacuum.

        You put up a pretty reasonable outline. When I saw you had replied, I knew it wouldn’t be rediculous whether I agreed or not.

        I wanted value in a vacuum and I knew that might not be simple because, for example, you mention an intangible that can’t be dismissed because it’s two important. He’s the face of the franchise.

          Can’t really look at it in a vacuum. For the team trading for him, are they within a two-year window to win? Are they in rebuild mode and want to have a clubhouse leader hoping to extend him? Are they looking into rebuilding his value and flipping him before he reaches FA?

    Prom Queens in the Bronx. Often broke, usually injured and what’s left is underperforming. Gio Urshela and Luke Voit won’t win you very many games without a supporting cast. Who crowned “Homer” Cole the greatest pitcher ever? Maybe we can trade for David Phelps?

    I’m starting to think there’s issues with stretching and staying loose with the Yankees organization. Stanton got hurt in a double header and now Judge got hurt, or whatever is wrong with him, after sitting the first game of a double header and starting the second.

    last 2 years Judge has missed 110 games out of 324. he is 28 yrs old and supposed to be in the prime of his health. Being a lifetime Yankee fan…to this point he epitomizes what this organization needs. A seemingly class act, ….popular among teammates, a leader in the dugout. and oh yea…a devastating hitter to go along with Gold glove ability.. A “dream” player…..but if he continues to get hurt consistently,… and not talking about little ‘dings” here and there…….I just do not see how a multi year contract for him makes sense…I know there are still a few years to go before thinking about that….but just saying. To be absolutely open minded…wonder what he could fetch in a realistic trade scenario. Stanton is another story…..I think he is untradeable.
