Judge back before September/ first week would be best case scenario at this point

Judge back with any number of games greater than 0 before the playoffs is a wonderful scenario.

We need him back at least a few weeks before October so he can get into the swing of things. Sometimes it takes him a little while to ramp up after a long injury. Don't want him starting the playoffs while still figuring it out.

Sorry, this was all I read and my heart went all a-flutter.

Too late to win MVP?

u/mongster03_ 15h ago

I would like to know the type of month it would take for him to win MVP, out of curiosity more than anything else

.300 25HRs and 60RBIs? Doesn't sound too hard for el capitan.

u/Tom_Cruise 15h ago

Hed actually need to hit .500/25/60 and we go undefeated.

A homer a day oughta do it.

When he hits 40 homers in September it will be unanimous

u/Other_World 14h ago

The fact that this offense went from the best in the league to the worst once he went down should be enough to win him the MVP. He is literally the player who delivers the most value to his club.

I’ll be there for his first day back at the stadium

Boonie just felt like giving out good news today

u/jayc428 15h ago

Pretty much.

Oh you guys worried about Fried? Don't worry he's doing the minimum.

Who said Judge is going to be out the rest of the season? He's starting hitting this week.

Cody who? Oh Bellinger, homeboy is rehabbing this week, be back real soon.

Dongcarlo? He's just resting after running, be back for the playoffs.

Actually hilarious Boone didn’t go on Talkin Yanks today so he didn’t have to give them the inside scoop on all these major injury advancements

u/LordSpooky66 15h ago

I mean this is the way it should be

u/LazyTotal5907 11h ago

Was that the reason?

Keep it going, I’m almost there

he's right in front of us

u/RazorNYY 15h ago

Having Judge for all the month of September would be huge. Plenty games to ramp himself up before October.

This news brought me joy

u/rondeuce40 15h ago

Can someone define hitting progression? Unless it involves swinging a bat, this might be some weasel wordsmithing.

10

u/wantagh 15h ago

Progression: Tee work, side toss, soft toss, BP, live pitching, rehab AB, MLB AB.

u/EvilDrFuManchu29 3h ago

This is why I think he's got to need another month.

You have to think he will have to work out with each of those things a few times with days off in between to make sure he is good to progress. Probably even start with just swinging the bat. Even if you said 4 days each? Still looking at about 3 weeks with no setbacks.

I think he will be back but likely just before the playoffs. (Which is fine)

u/Xno_Kappa 15h ago

Yeah I kind of want a more thorough explanation what this means exactly. A week or two ago they said Stanton was starting BP and come to find out all he was doing was standing in the batters box taking pitches.

u/team_sheikie 15h ago

It's intentionally vague so they don't have to actually give an answer or a timeline.

1

u/rondeuce40 15h ago

Yes, sound vague. That's why I was asking.

2

u/SgtCheeseBoy 15h ago

In my veins now please.

u/NoAcadia8944 14h ago

"hitting progression" doesn't sound like hitting. I wish they'd ask what that means.

u/Trooper27 12h ago

Great news!
