Yankees Reveal Aaron Judge's Spring Training Debut Date

​As the New York Yankees aim for another World Series appearance, they understand the importance of keeping their superstar, Aaron Judge, in peak condition. To ensure this, Judge, like several other veteran players, was held out of spring training games during the first week of camp. The wait, however, is almost over. Manager Aaron Boone has announced that the $360 million star will make his spring training debut on Saturday afternoon in a matchup against the Houston Astros at 1:05 p.m. ET. Fresh off his second MVP campaign, Judge's return to the field is highly anticipated by fans and teammates alike.

With Judge still in the prime of his career, the Yankees are keen to capitalize on their current World Series window. The departure of Juan Soto, who signed with the rival New York Mets, was a significant blow to the lineup. However, the Yankees have bolstered their roster with the acquisitions of former MVPs Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt. Additionally, they are looking for offensive contributions from promising youngsters like Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe, and Jasson Dominguez. As Giancarlo Stanton remains sidelined due to elbow injuries, the team is expected to ease Judge into his workload. Nevertheless, Judge's imminent return brings excitement and optimism as the Yankees prepare for the upcoming season.
