As a three-time American League Most Valuable Player, Judge has missed 84 games since his last appearance on May 31.
作為三屆美聯最有價值球員,賈奇自5月31日最後一次出賽以來,已錯過84場比賽。

這位34歲的球員在中外野手特倫特·格里沙姆於週五晚上拉傷腿筋後,試圖說服布恩將他列入先發名單。
"After Grisham got hurt, he showed up at my door in San Diego," Boone recalled. "He made it clear he was ready to go the next day."
格里沙姆受傷後,他竟出現在我聖地牙哥的門口,布恩回憶道:「他表明明天已準備就緒。」
"I was reluctant to do so, as we were extremely keen for him to complete some final checks."
「我實在不願如此,因為我們極其希望他能完成一些最終的檢核程序。」

班·萊斯的好球率由原先的46.7%攀升至48.3%,而科迪·貝林傑的好球率則從47.3%提升至49.7%。
"His presence is bound to trigger a ripple effect, creating more favorable opportunities and better at-bats for everyone," Boone elaborated.
「他的存在勢必引發連鎖效應,為眾人締造更優渥的契機與更理想的打席機會,」布恩闡述道。
"We have a plethora of left-handed hitters in our lineup, and that has been the case for the vast majority of this season.
「我們陣中擁有眾多左打者,本季絕大多數時間皆然。
So, consider how many games each week we face left-handed pitchers in the fifth, seventh, and ninth innings, at which point they can align their defense against us without deliberately pitching around Aaron Judge, because Judge is right there among those left-handed batters?"
因此,試想我們每週有多少場次會在第五、第七及第九局面對左投手,屆時對方得以針對我們佈陣,卻無須刻意繞過亞倫·賈奇,因為賈奇正身處那群左打者之間?」
