Aaron Judge makes bold Yankees playoff proclamation as he tries to convince brass he’s ready

Aaron Judge is actively lobbying team leadership to secure a spot on the roster for the upcoming American League wild-card series against the Boston Red Sox. Recovering from a moderate calf strain sustained less than two weeks ago, the slugger participated in a live batting practice session at Yankee Stadium to demonstrate his physical readiness.

Although he has not yet tested his leg by running the bases, he has utilized an anti-gravity treadmill and expressed a strong desire to patrol right field rather than serve strictly as a designated hitter. Manager Aaron Boone noted that indoor hitting commenced recently, while the outfielder weighed the inherent risks of reinjury to his soleus muscle ahead of the postseason stretch.
