00:00 Aaron Judge according to Brian Hoke who covers the Yankees for Major League
00:07 Baseball said he underwent an MRI on his abs this would be now two days ago he
00:13 said that he will not swing a bat again until later in the week quote there's no
00:17 need a real need to push it end quote and his goal is to play opening day so
00:24 those are the words Craig his goal is to play opening day for the Yankees do you
00:29 believe Aaron Judge will suit up for the pinstripes on opening day yeah I mean I
00:35 think there's a probably a pretty good chance because after these MRIs are done
00:38 on the oblique you know they usually give a great designation grade one grade
00:41 two grade three etc and you didn't hear anything so that's really good news and
00:45 the fact that they're saying he's day-to-day means nothing but with no
00:49 designation unless you know they're not telling us something I do think that
00:52 there is probably a really good chance that we will see him you know opening
00:55 day is one day he could play the next day he could play the day after that but
01:00 I think for the Yankees the important thing is it looked like at least for the
01:02 time being they dodged a bullet but Ben what I would say is whatever happened
01:07 with his oblique I mean that is a dangerous proposition we've seen players
01:10 sort of tweak it and then a couple of months later actually tear it so
01:15 hopefully that's not the case with judge so I'm in total agreement with what
01:19 they're doing which is you have so many meaningless games between now and the
01:23 28th just you know let this guy get some at-bats the 22nd the 23rd whatever it is
01:28 right before the season I don't think he'll need much more so at least for the
01:32 time being I think it's pretty safe to say that you will see judge the first
01:37 week of the season
01:40 (upbeat music)
