Aaron Judge’s latest injury scare has the Yankees facing an uncomfortable question just before the postseason. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate how concerned fans should be after Judge left with a lower-body issue, with Evan believing the early signs suggest this is not a season-ending injury while Tiki warns that Judge has only recently returned and may not be fully ready for the grind.
The bigger concern is October. With the AL East effectively gone, the Yankees need Judge healthy more than ever, and there’s no guarantee they’ll get an uncompromised version of their superstar. If the injury happened in the field, moving Judge to designated hitter could quickly become part of the postseason plan.
