ARLINGTON — Gleyber Torres was a late scratch from the Yankees’ lineup on Monday as they started a four-game sequence over the following three days. Torres was within the authentic lineup taking part in second and hitting third. Aaron Boone mentioned that he was simply “not feeling great, under the weather.”
With the Yankees having clinched the No. 2 seed within the American League playoffs and already gained the AL East, that is the time to take these days to get higher. The Yankees’ supervisor goes to try to get some gamers days off. That began Monday night time with Anthony Rizzo, Harrison Bader and Jose Trevino having the night time off.
But, Aaron Judge was again in there for his 53rd consecutive begin and nonetheless chasing historical past. Judge is tied with Roger Maris for the AL and Yankees single-season dwelling run file of 61.
And he might keep in there till he hits No. 62, Boone indicated.
“A lot is contingent on that. So I don’t have a plan in place yet. He’s in there today. And then we’ll just, he and I’ll get together after the game and have those conversations and decide what the best course is moving forward,” Boone mentioned.
Judge has 4 extra video games to try to set a brand new mark. He is hitting .233 with one homer, 18 walks and 14 strikeouts since hitting his sixtieth homer on September 20. The Yankees’ slugger has reached base safely in 30 straight video games, relationship again to Aug. 29 in Anaheim when he hit his fiftieth homer. He’s slashing .398/.562/.847 with 20 further base hits, 21 RBI, 30 runs and 37 walks in that span.
The Yankees do have a five-day break that comes with the first-round bye within the playoffs, which Boone takes into consideration when taking part in Judge.
“Yeah, so I’m not worried about the physical part of it. Sure, I’d love for him to do it and then really be able to get him out of there, but for right now moving forward, these next few days, they’ll just be him and I kind of get together after the game.”
Boone mentioned there’s a probability that Judge might play each video games of Tuesday’s doubleheader if he hasn’t reached 62 homers.
NO NEWS IS?
Ron Marinaccio had an MRI, CT scan and an examination on his proper shin Monday morning and didn’t rejoin the staff in Texas earlier than the sport.
“It’s just reading it and what it means,” Boone mentioned. “He’s not here. So we’ll see what we have here. Hopefully, we’ll know something in the next couple hours.”
Marinaccio has stepped up, making 40 appearances and pitching to a 2.05 ERA in his rookie season.
LEMAHIEU FEELS READY
DJ LeMahieu has performed simply twice since lacking 21 video games with proper massive and second-toe irritation, however the veteran infielder thinks he’ll be capable to play successfully within the playoffs.
“It feels a little bit better than a couple of weeks ago. But I don’t think it’s gonna go away,” LeMahieu mentioned. “So I just have to manage it.”
LeMahieu has these 4 video games, which he’d wish to play in, to get his timing again. He can even have the five-day break between the top of the common sequence and the Division Series.
“It’s still too early. I mean, these few days here will be important to have him back in there today,” Boone mentioned. “I’ll probably play in just half or two thirds of the game today. So we’ll just continue to see what it looks like and how it’s bouncing back.”
LeMahieu, who has 4 years left on his $90 million cope with the Yankees, has been a key cog within the Bombers offense the previous couple of years. The contact hitter, who gained the batting title in 2020, often leads off. The Bombers missed his presence final season when he was shut down in September with a sports activities hernia.
