Aaron Judge ‘penciled in’ to return to Yankees’ lineup on Saturday
NY Post
TAMPA — There is no concrete end date to Gerrit Cole Watch, as the ace undergoes more tests on his throwing elbow.
The Yankees are hoping to end Aaron Judge Watch on Saturday.
Manager Aaron Boone said Judge is “penciled in” to return to the lineup and center field Saturday, when the Yankees play the Blue Jays at Steinbrenner Field.
The Yankees captain has not swung a bat since Sunday and required an MRI exam on his abdomen Monday that came back “clean,” Judge and Boone have said.
On Sunday, Judge was pulled from the spring game following two at-bats, when most of the regulars received a third.
Judge and Boone have said the early exit had been planned.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
