Aaron Judge lined out to right field on the first pitch he saw in his return from the IL, then he walked his next three times up. But the Yankees lost to the Orioles 1-0 on Santander's ninth-inning homer.
The Yankees reinstated Judge from the injured list Friday before the opener of their Judge admits he isn't fully recovered but says he's healthy enough to play.
Judge had been out since tearing a ligament in his right big toe June 3 when he crashed into the right-field fence while making a catch at Dodger Stadium. In the eighth inning Friday, he appeared to foul a pitch off his foot, but it was his left one. "Obviously, as much as there's urgency for us, we've got to be smart about that and make sure that in talking to Aaron, making sure he's honest with his feedback about how he's recovering, how he's bouncing back," Boone said."Obviously, how the toe's doing, but how everything else is doing."
"I guess he's back and he's ready," Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said before the game."So we'll have to pitch to him well." "No, I just wanted to get back," Judge said after a noticeable pause."Any time you're sitting out, even if we were winning and we had an eight-game lead in the division, or we were 10 games out of it, I want to be back out there battling with the guys."
