Yankees manager Aaron Boone told WFAN on Tuesday morning that he’s skeptical that Judge, who recently had an IL stint with an elbow injury, will return to “throwing like he normally does” this season. Judge has exclusively DH’d since being activated off the IL earlier this month.

And now the list of mistakes committed by Boone this season can include his handling of Aaron Judge's injury expectations. After the franchise slugger went down with an elbow injury, Boone offered a pessimistic take on his potential return to the outfield, which was publicly challenged by Judge.

The Yankees overcame a very untimely Jose Caballero tantrum on Wednesday night to beat the Rays in 10 innings and head home after a 5-0, two-city road trip.

The Yankees didn’t just lose to the Red Sox on Saturday. They were embarrassed. A 12–1 beating at Yankee Stadium left Aaron Boone with little choice but to state the obvious:

The Yankees' captain didn't say much, but he said what needed to be said. His frustration was palpable, and he didn't hesitate to point fingers.
