Yankees play Aaron Judge at DH after video sparks concern over arm discomfort — originally appeared on Athlon Sports. No need to panic—at least not yet. Aaron Judge is in the Yankees lineup as the designated hitter Wednesday night, following a brief moment of throwing discomfort that raised questions about a possible arm issue.
The former NL MVP hasn’t appeared in a game in the outfield since making 33 defensive appearances for the Yankees late in the 2023 season.
Earlier this week, Judge struggled to throw, so the Yankees sent him for testing on his injured elbow and forearm. While the imaging didn't show any damage to his UCL, the strain in his arm was enough for the Yankees to take a cautionary move.
