Aaron Judge has made his return to the New York Yankees after a 99-day stint on the sidelinesa period that, by sheer coincidence, matched his jersey number.

アーロン・ジャッジが99日間に及ぶ戦線離脱を経てニューヨーク・ヤンキースへと復帰を果たした——その離脱期間は彼の背番号と偶然にも一致していたのである。

Having recovered from a fractured rib, the umpire started in right field in Tuesday night's series opener against the Colorado Rockies, stepping up to the plate as the third batter in the lineup, a key slot in the heart of the order.

"He is unlikely to play a full game today, though he himself is eager to do so," said Yankees manager Aaron Boone.

彼は今日フル出場はまずないだろう当人はそれを切望しているのだがね」とヤンキース監督のアーロン・ブーンは語った

"At some point during this series, I intend to give him a day of rest."

このシリーズのどこかの時点で、1日は休息を取らせるつもりだ

Judge, who boasts three MVP awards, had been sidelined for a remarkable 84 games since his last appearance on May 31st.

3度のMVP受賞歴を誇るジャッジは5月31日の最終出場以来実に84試合もの間戦線を離脱していた

The 34-year-old, following center fielder Trent Grisham's hamstring injury on Friday night, sought to persistently press manager Boone to approve his return to the lineup.

34歳の彼は金曜夜に中堅手トレント・グリシャムがハムストリングを負傷したのを受けブーン監督に対して自身の戦列復帰を承認するよう執拗に働きかけようとした

"He actually showed up at my doorstep in San Diego after Grisham got injured.

彼は実際グリシャムが負傷したサンディエゴで私の玄関先に現れたのだ。

He told me, 'I'll be ready by tomorrow,'" Boone recalled.

『明日には準備が整っている』と告げた」とブーンは回想した

"But I couldn't allow that.

だがそれを許すわけにはいかなかった

Because there were certainly a few outstanding matters that needed to be resolved before we could proceed."

というのも最終的に解決しておくべき懸案事項がいくつか確実に残っていたからだ」

Judge conducted batting practice at Yankee Stadium on Monday's off-day and was activated that evening.

ジャッジは月曜日の休養日にヤンキースタジアムで打撃練習を実施しその夜にアクティベートされた

Boone held a private meeting with Judge, and subsequently conferred with strength and conditioning coach Brett McCabe, followed by the athletic training staff, general manager Brian Cashman, and owner Hal Steinbrenner.

ブーンはジャッジと個別に面談しさらにストレングス&コンディショニングコーチのブレット・マッケイブ続いてアスレチックトレーニングスタッフゼネラルマネージャーのブライアン・キャッシュマン、そしてオーナーのハル・スタインブレナーとも協議を行った

"Hal was desperate to get a sense of where we all stood and how we related to one another," Boone recalled.

ハルは我々全員の現在地我々自身の位置関係を把握しようと躍起になっていた」とブーンは述懐した

Having declined to field questions at the pre-game press conference, Judge launched multiple home runs to right-center, center, and left field during Tuesday's batting practice.

試合前の記者会見で質問に応じることを拒否したジャッジは火曜日の打撃練習において右中間、中堅、左翼へ複数本の本塁打を放った

He entered the contest carrying a batting average of .248, 17 home runs, 38 RBIs, and an OPS of .907.

彼は打率.24817本塁打38打点OPS.907という成績を携えてこの試合に臨んだ

Judge initially sustained the injury on April 26 in Houston while attempting a diving catch, when he tried to avoid second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., and had recorded a batting average of .263 with seven home runs and 20 RBIs over 31 games before being placed on the injured list.

ジャッジは4月26日にヒューストンでダイビングキャッチを試みた際二塁手のジャズ・チゾム・ジュニアを避けようとして最初に負傷し故障者リスト入りする前の31試合で打率.2637本塁打20打点記録していた

In the 18 games leading up to his stint on the injured list, he had managed only a solitary home run.

故障者リスト入り前の18試合ではわずか1本塁打に留まっていた

New York stood at 36 wins and 23 losses as of May 31, when Judge last played, and went 45-39 during his absence.

ニューヨークはジャッジが最後にプレーした5月31日時点で36勝23敗彼の離脱中は45勝39敗だった

Through the 59 games up to May 31, the Yankees posted a batting average of .243, 86 home runs, and an OPS of .770, but while Judge was sidelined, those figures dropped to a .227 average, 107 home runs, and a .681 OPS.

ヤンキースは5月31日までの59試合で打率.24386本塁打OPS.770記録したがジャッジが離脱している間は打率.227107本塁打OPS.681だった

During that stretch, their batting average ranked 29th among the 30 major league teams, edging out only Seattle's .225.

その間の打率はメジャー30球団中29位でシアトル(.225)をわずかに上回った

"We managed to hold on somehow," Boone reflected.

我々はどうにか持ちこたえたブーンは述懐した

"On the offensive side, there were indeed times when we were made to taste bitter hardship."

攻撃の局面においてはまさに苦渋を舐めさせられる時期もあった

According to MLB Statcast data, it became evident that while Judge was sidelined, opposing pitchers adopted a more aggressive approach against the other Yankees batters.

MLBスタットキャストのデータによればジャッジが戦線を離脱している間相手投手陣は他のヤンキース打者に対してより積極的な攻めの姿勢をとっていたことが明らかになった

Specifically, Ben Rice's strike rate against rose from 46.7% to 48.3%, and a notable increase was likewise observed for Cody Bellinger, from 47.3% to 49.7%.

具体的にはベン・ライスの被ストライク率は46.7%から48.3%へと上昇しコディ・ベリンジャーに関しても47.3%から49.7%へと顕著な増加が確認された

"His presence creates a ripple effect that yields better opportunities and higher-quality at-bats for the entire team," Boone remarked.

彼の存在はチーム全体にとってより良い機会と質の高い打席を生む波及効果をもたらしている」とブーンは語った

"Our lineup is heavily left-handed, and that has held true for the bulk of the season.

我々の打線には左打者が多くそれはシーズンの大半を通じて変わらなかった

So even if the opposition brings in a left-handed pitcher in the fifth, seventh, or ninth inning, how often does a situation actually arise where they're forced to pitch to left-handed batters around Aaron Judge rather than simply avoiding him?

だから相手が5回7回あるいは9回に左投手を投入してきたとしてもアーロン・ジャッジを挟んで左打者と対戦させる必要が生じない場面が、実際にどれほどの頻度で訪れるだろうか

New York stood at 81-62, trailing the American League East-leading Tampa Bay by four games and holding a slim two-game edge over Boston (80-65), who sat at the forefront of the wild-card race.

ニューヨークは81勝62敗という成績でア・リーグ東地区首位のタンパベイに対して4ゲーム差、ワイルドカード争いの最前線に立つボストン(80勝65敗)にはわずか2ゲーム差をつけていた

Having already clinched the season series, the Yankees still retained the tiebreaker advantage over the Red Sox.

ヤンキースはシーズンシリーズを制覇しておりレッドソックスに対するタイブレークの優位性を依然として保持している

Last season, Judge appeared in 152 games, posting career-best numbers with a .331 batting average, 53 home runs, and 114 RBIs.

昨季ジャッジは152試合に出場し打率.33153本塁打114打点というキャリアハイの成績を残した

As a result, he secured his third MVP award and claimed his first career batting title.

これにより自身3度目となるMVP受賞と、キャリア初の打撃タイトル獲得を果たした

Relief pitcher Fernando Cruz, who had been sidelined since August 25 after partially tearing the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, has decided to avoid Tommy John surgery following an examination by Texas Rangers team physician Keith Meister, and is aiming to return during the current season.

救援投手フェルナンド・クルスは、右肘内側側副靭帯部分断裂し8月25日から戦線を離脱していたが、テキサス・レンジャーズチームドクターキース・マイスター診察を受けた結果トミー・ジョン手術回避する決断を下し今シーズン中復帰を目指している

After receiving a cortisone injection, Cruz is expected to resume his throwing practice within this week.

クルスはコルチゾン注射を受けた後今週中に投球練習を再開する見込みである

"If it gives way, that will be the end of it," he reflected.

もし破綻を来せばそれで終わりだ」と彼は述懐した

"Should I detect any unusual noise or abnormality, it would signify that the time for surgery has arrived."

異音や異変を察知したならば、それは手術の時機が到来したことを意味する

Left-handed pitcher Ryan Weathers, who has been sidelined since August 22nd, is aiming to recover from a strained left forearm flexor, and has been throwing up to 75 feet on flat ground.

左腕のライアン・ウェザースは、8月22日から戦列を離れている左前腕屈筋の張りからの回復を目指しておりフラットグラウンドで75フィートまでの投球を実施した

Weathers is also slated to pitch on Wednesday and Thursday, and after taking a day of rest on Friday, he may take the mound again thereafter.

ウェザースは水曜日と木曜日にも登板し金曜日には休養を取った上でその後再びマウンドに立つ可能性がある

He is eager to assume a relief role during the postseason.

彼はポストシーズンにおいて中継ぎとしての役割を切望している
