2 years agoNew York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Judge (lower body) isn't in the starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox because he's "been dealing with some kind of lower body soreness thing." The Bergen Record's Pete Caldera is reporting that Boone said that Judge will probably be available as a pinch-hitter, signaling that his injury isn't a serious one. Judge had been in a slump recently but had three hits, including a grand slam, on Wednesday to break out of it. The 30-year-old slugger has been outstanding this year and remains a must-start when he's in the lineup in fantasy. Aaron Hicks is in center field and batting sixth against Red Sox right-hander Josh Winckowski on Thursday. Hicks has been pretty disappointing this year, but he is 5-for-13 (.385) with a homer and six RBI in five games over the last week of play.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
