Which Boone do you believe, Yankees fans?Aaron Judge didn't make it to the All-Star Game in Seattle as he continues to recover from his toe injury suffered back in early June against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The New York Yankees star has had a very vague timeline for his return, too, which has constantly worried fans.
His appearance on the TODAY Show provided some hope that he might be back soon-ish, but there haven't been any substantial updates -- outside of the report suggesting surgery could eventually be a requirement for the reigning AL MVP.
Manager Aaron Boone has hardly been any help throughout this process, but that's to be expected. He rarely ever provides specifics, and he's certaintly not going to overextend himself when it comes to one of the most important players in the sport.
But ... what about his brother? Bret Boone appeared on CBS Sports Radio this week, joining the Zach Gelb Show, and was asked about whether the Yankees manager could be able to get Judge back in the lineup again in 2023.
Not only did he say yes, but Bret believes Judge will be returning "right after the All-Star break" based on some "grumblings" he's been hearing, though he did specifically say his brother has been tight-lipped about the situation.[
