Yankees manager Aaron Boone plans to manage Aaron Judge's upcoming workload

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone plans to monitor the workload of Aaron Judge as the team navigates a series of upcoming games. Judge recently returned from an 84-game absence due to a right rib stress fracture and is currently batting.250 with 17 home runs this season. Since his September 8 return, Judge has recorded three hits in ten at-bats over three appearances. Boone indicated the outfielder will serve as the designated hitter in Saturday's game against the New York Mets before potentially receiving a day off either Sunday or Monday against the Minnesota Twins. The Yankees organization is focused on carefully integrating the veteran back into the daily lineup to ensure his health following his lengthy time on the injured list.
