Boone: It’s ‘realistic’ Judge could return in 3 weeks

Yankees manager Aaron Boone says it’s “pretty realistic” that injured slugger Aaron Judge will be able to play in a game in three weeks.

Boone made the assessment Friday, a day after Judge’s right wrist was fractured when he was hit by a pitch against Kansas City. Boone said he’s not sure if that timeframe means a minor league rehab game or a return to the Yankees’ lineup.

“I think the three weeks is a possibility he’s in a game,” Boone said.

Judge’s wrist isn’t in a cast and the team said the All-Star right fielder won’t need surgery. The Yankees put him on the 10-day disabled list and recalled infielder-outfielder Tyler Wade from Triple-A Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre.
