Aaron Judge's Return Strategy and Postseason Readiness

Although they had hoped judge by next week would be in a game of some sort, whether it's a rehab, like he would be someplace by the eighth for the Yankees and hopefully on track to get him ready for the post season there. And if I'm being honest, Greg, don't you run the risk? And I get Aaron Judge is all great, but guys, he hasn't played in three, four months. He hasn't, he hasn't been able to do anything athletic until over the last week or two. Is it more of a detriment sometimes and, and more of a risk to try to insert even somebody as good as he is, I has not played bait and done any, and been done allowed anything athletic for the last three months. Yeah. It's hard to believe that he could just come back and do it and, and just do very little. Now he did face some live pitching on the field yesterday, but you're right. I think he's got to start off as a designated hitter for a few days. Then he'll probably Joe go a one day in the outfield, one day designated hitter, two days in the outfield, one day designated hitter, and sort of play that for a while until things change. So I do think he can be okay and they wouldn't put him back on the field if he couldn't run, but I do think it'll be a little bit of a work in progress.
