As you might have heard, the New York Yankees have never won a World Series with Aaron Judge on the roster. Soon, we will find out if they begin their next step toward the Fall Classic without him.
Attention is focused on whether Aaron Judge will be included on the New York Yankees' roster for the American League Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Judge is recovering from a September calf injury after previously missing most of the season due to a rib injury. As of Friday afternoon, the Yankees had not yet committed to whether the slugger will be available for Game 1 on Saturday.
Baseball Now notes that returning for Saturday's opener may be early based on a three-week recovery timeline, but suggests a midweek return remains possible. While Tampa Bay holds the top seed, the outlet highlights that New York's pitching rotation features Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Cam Schlittler, and Carlos Rodon, arguing that Judge's presence could potentially tip the series in the Yankees' favor.
