00:00Although they had hoped Judge by next week would be in a game of some sort,
00:06whether it's a rehab, like he would be someplace by the eighth for the Yankees
00:12and hopefully on track to get him ready for the postseason there.
00:17And if I'm being honest, Greg, don't you run the risk?
00:21And I get Aaron Judge is all great, but guys, he hasn't played in three, four months.
00:26He hasn't been able to do anything athletic until over the last week or two.
00:31Is it more of a detriment sometimes and more of a risk to try to insert?
00:37Even somebody as good as he is, guy has not played and been allowed anything athletic
00:44for the last three months.
00:46Yeah, it's hard to believe that he could just come back and do it and just do very little.
00:51Now, he did face some live pitching on the field yesterday, but you're right.
00:55I think he's got to start off as a designated hitter for a few days.
01:00Then he'll probably, Joe, go one day in the outfield, one day designated hitter,
01:05two days in the outfield, one day designated hitter,
01:08and sort of play that for a while until things change.
01:12So I do think he can be okay, and they wouldn't put him back on the field
01:17if he couldn't run, but I do think it'll be a little bit of a work in progress.
01:20You're welcome.
01:20You're welcome.
01:21Next time.
