@RichB02318864@JackCurryYES@TheRayFlowers FFS the guy has had 27 plate appearances and he's hitting fine in AAA. The man needs to play and now he's going to get a legitimate opportunity.
People definitely forget Judge scuffled horribly in his first partial season in 2016.
Last year my shoulder wasnโt recovering between outings. We kinda did our best, didnโt do much imaging, and it eventually โresolvedโ itself enough I could continue throwing.
This year it returned, and the Mets instantly flew me across the country for intensive tests and images and diagnosed the problem - arterial TOS. 95% of the blood meant to flow down into my arm was being stopped at the shoulder.
Itโs now completely fixed and my shoulder has never felt better. But for being so diligent the Mets will get dinged on this chart for having more IL days compared to if we just nursed it along well enough to get by.
As Eno covers in this article, thereโs a million ways to interpret this data, and thereโs so many factors itโs hard to really draw much from it.
Aaron Judge has only been diagnosed with an upper right rib bone bruise so far. The #Yankees are waiting to hear back from a doctor who specializes in complex vascular procedures & thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS).
Updated this story with some info on TOS, including some recent position player cases. https://t.co/37EJexBQh0
The specialist looking at Aaron Judgeโs imaging is Dr. Gregory Pearl in Dallas.
Pearl has over three decades of experience and โhas made significant contributions to vascular surgery education and clinical practice, particularly in complex vascular procedures and thoracic outlet syndrome management in high-performance athletes.โ
