Judge was sidelined for about 3 months due to a fatigue fracture of his right ribs in the middle of the season. He was sidelined again due to a strained right calf at the end of the season.

Today, Judge played 4 at-bats at the stadium. In the first at-bat, he faced farm giant Elmer Rodríguez and walked 6 balls in a row. In the second at-bat, he faced "Weather Brother" Ryan Weathers. Weathers also walked 6 pitches, but this time he emptied one. In the third at bat, he continued to face Rodriguez. After picking up a bad ball first, he hit the ball in the direction of the pitcher to form a grounder. In the last at bat, he stood still for six pitches and was struck out.
Judge was interviewed before today's training and said that he is trying to convince the team to let him play in the playoffs. "While I will continue to train, I think the most important thing is to make sure that I am healthy and ready to fight for the long term. We still have a month of baseball to play, so I hope I can prepare myself for this month of games. We will all proceed with caution, but I think they all know that I want to play, especially the first game."
Although "Judge" still aims to return in the playoffs, he also revealed that his current running training is still in the anti-gravity treadmill stage, and he has not yet conducted base running training. In addition, he also hopes to return as a right fielder, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone admitted that he is not sure whether his physical condition will be as he wishes.
The Yankees and Boston Red Sox will play the first game of the series at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. The two sides respectively sent Cam Schlittler, the American League's ERA leader and Cy Young favorite, and this year's rising star Payton Tolle to start.
