Aaron Judge started at DH on Friday for the fifth time in the last six games after starting there 13 times through the first 84 games of the season.
Aaron Judge won’t get much rest during the All-Star break, but Aaron Boone is giving him a midseason break of sorts.“Just a chance to give him a little bit of a physical blow in the middle of the season,” Boone said Friday before hosting the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.
Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge reacts after he scores on his solo home run in the seventh inning at Yankee Stadium, Tuesday, July 2, 2024.He has started 62 games in center field and had been DHing once or twice a week when Stanton was healthy. The Yankees moved Judge to center field this year to accommodate the arrivals of Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo, which stoked some concern about how the 6-foot-7, 282-pounder would hold up physically with more ground to cover.But Judge, who relishes playing center, has responded by putting together another dominant offensive season, entering Friday batting .314 with a league-leading 32 home runs and 1.135 OPS.
”Just understanding that, especially when you go through these things, it’s a bad look,” Boone said. “But at the same time, one of the reasons he’s a Gold Glove center fielder is because of his heartbeat, the reads, the jumps, the ease with which he plays the position. You don’t want to lose that in there. But with that, just be mindful of certain routine things.”
