Judge insists he’s fine after thumb scare

Aaron Judge jammed his left thumb sliding into second base in the first inning of Friday’s 4-1 win over the Mets, but the Yankees don’t believe it’s serious.

“It caught our attention,” Aaron Boone said of Judge’s attempt to break up a double play. “You see him reacting and you hold your breath, but he checked out all right. He went up in the [batting] cage and hit and was OK, said he was good to go. Hopefully we dodged a bullet there.”

Judge remained in the game and went 0-for-2, but drove in the Yankees’ first run with a sacrifice fly that tied the game in the sixth against Jacob deGrom.

“I’m not too concerned,’’ Judge said. “Once I got up, I felt a little something, just kind of pulled on it, tightened on it and felt good to go.”

Judge will get tests on the thumb Saturday. He said it was sore after the game and would see how it felt Saturday to determine whether he would play.

Luis Severino had conflicting emotions when he learned Noah Syndergaard, who he was supposed to face Sunday, had been scratched with inflammation in his middle finger.

“As a pitcher, I’m disappointed, because it was going to be a good matchup,” Severino said. “As a hit- ter, I’m not upset. I didn’t want to see him.”

Severino has been on an incredible roll this season, with the Yankees winning all but one of his 13 starts, including the past 10.

He had been looking forward to the challenge of dueling Syndergaard.

“He’s a great pitcher, so I was going to go out there and try to be better than him,’’ Severino said. “That kind of gets me more fired up. I want to try to match him.”

Now, he’ll be opposed by Seth Lugo, who will be making just his second start of the season.

Giancarlo Stanton’s dominance in Queens continued Friday, when he hit his 22nd career homer at Citi Field, the most by an oppos- ing player. It came off Paul Sewald in the ninth.

“I always felt good playing here,” Stanton said. “I couldn’t tell you exactly [why]. Good backdrop. Good dimensions.”

He said he was unaware of his exact numbers against the Mets.

“I know they’re pretty good,’’ Stanton said. “It help put a beating on them.”

Before the game, Boone said he didn’t think the environment had much of an impact on the slugger.

“When you’re talking about a player the caliber of Stanton, it doesn’t really matter where [he is],’’ Boone said. “It’s more about him and being mechanically sound and on time. Whether he’s in Citi Field or Yellowstone, he’s gonna rake when he’s synced up and locked in.”
