Aaron Boone gives worrying update on Aaron Judge’s health

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge still hasn’t played in spring training, and the team is trying to figure out his health issues.

Manager Aaron Boone said that Judge felt discomfort while hitting on Friday, and more tests are scheduled for the ailing outfielder with what appears to be a pectoral issue.

According to Aaron Boone, Aaron Judge felt discomfort near his right pec while hitting yesterday. Tests so far have been inconclusive, and Judge has more scheduled for Monday.

Boone still believes Judge can be ready for Opening Day.

The Yankees know little at this point. They have roughly a month to get Judge ready for Opening Day, but their inability to figure out what’s causing him problems is definitely worrisome at this point.

Judge is not the only Yankee slugger to be dealing with a spring injury. It’s not exactly a great start to the season for the team health-wise.
