An Aaron Judge injury absence will put Yankees roster to telling test
Key Points:
- Since Aaron Judge became a regular starter in 2017, the Yankees have maintained a .596 winning percentage (652-442) in games he starts, compared to .517 (136-127) in games he does not.
- The Yankees recently suffered a 9-4 loss to the Guardians, highlighting the team's struggles without Judge's presence and leadership.
- In the loss, catcher Cam Schlittler and most hitters, except Paul Goldschmidt, performed poorly, contributing to the team's ineffective overall effort.
- Judge's absence underscores his critical role as the Yankees' captain and key contributor to their success.
