Aaron Judge has made his return to the New York Yankees after a stint on the sidelines lasting no fewer than ninety-nine daysa period of absence that, by a striking coincidence, corresponded exactly to his jersey number.

アーロン・ジャッジは実に99日間にも及ぶ戦線離脱を経てニューヨーク・ヤンキースへの復帰を遂げた——その離脱期間は彼の背番号と奇しくも完全に一致していたのである。

Having fully recovered from the fractured ribs, the umpire took his position in right field for the series opener against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday evening, slotting into the third spot in the batting order as he stepped up to the plate.

Having fully convalesced from the fractured ribs, the arbiter took his place in right field for the opening contest of the series against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday evening, assuming the third position in the batting order as he approached the plate.

"He is unlikely to see a full day's play today, much as he himself would ardently wish for it," mused Aaron Boone, the Yankees' skipper.

彼は本日フル出場を果たすことはあるまい当人はそれを切望しておるがな」とヤンキースの指揮官アーロン・ブーンは述懐した

"At some juncture during this series, he will be afforded a day of respite."

本シリーズのいずれかの時点で一日の休息を取ることになろう

Having clinched the Most Valuable Player accolade on three separate occasions, Judge had been sidelined for 84 consecutive contests since his final appearance on May 31st.

The 34-year-old, upon witnessing center fielder Trent Grisham sustain a hamstring injury on Friday evening, endeavored to persuade manager Boone to sanction his reinstatement to the active roster.

The 34-year-old, upon witnessing center fielder Trent Grisham sustain a hamstring injury on Friday evening, endeavored to persuade manager Boone to sanction his reinstatement to the active roster.

"He did, in fact, come knocking at my door in San Diego after Grisham sustained his injury.

彼は実際グリシャムが負傷したサンディエゴの我が家の門戸を叩いたのだ

He assured me, 'By tomorrow, I shall be in peak condition,'" Boone recollected.

『明日には万全の態勢を整えている』と断言してな」とブーンは回想する

"Yet, I could not countenance such a course of action.

だがそれを許すわけにはいかなかった

For there remained, assuredly, several outstanding matters that necessitated definitive resolution before any such reinstatement could be entertained."

というのも最終的に解決しておくべき懸案事項が幾つか確実に残存していたからだ

Judge availed himself of Monday's off-day to repair to Yankee Stadium, where, after devoting himself assiduously to batting practice, he was ultimately activated that very evening.

ジャッジは月曜日の休養日を利用してヤンキースタジアムに赴き打撃練習に精を出した後その夜にはアクティベートされるに至った

Boone not only conducted a private audience with Judge but also engaged in exhaustive deliberations with a panoply of stakeholders, ranging from strength and conditioning coach Brett McCabe and the athletic training staff to General Manager Brian Cashman and, ultimately, owner Hal Steinbrenner.

ブーンはジャッジと個別に面談を実施したのみならずストレングス&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・キャッシュマンさらにはオーナーのハル・スタインブレナーに至るまで多岐にわたる関係者との協議を重ねたのである

"Hal was scheming with relentless tenacity to gain absolute command over both the whereabouts of every member and our strategic positioning," Boone reminisced.

ハルは全構成員の所在我々の戦略的立ち位置の双方を執拗なまでに掌握せんと画策していた」とブーンは述懐した

At the pre-game press conference, Judge, who categorically rebuffed all queries from the assembled media, unleashed several home runs during Tuesday's batting practice, sending balls to the right-center gap, straightaway center, and left field.

試合前の記者会見において報道陣からの質問一切拒絶したジャッジは、火曜日の打撃練習右中間中堅左翼へと数本の本塁打を放った

He entered the contest armed with 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むこととなった。

The umpire initially sustained the injury on April 26th in Houston while endeavoring to evade second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. during an attempted diving catch, having compiled a batting average of .263 with seven home runs and twenty runs batted in across thirty-one contests prior to his placement on the injured list.

In the eighteen games preceding his injured-list stint, he had managed merely a solitary home run.

New York had compiled a record of 36 wins and 23 losses as of May 31st, when Judge last took the field, yet during his absence from the lineup they languished at 45 wins and 39 losses.

ニューヨークはジャッジが最後に出場した5月31日の時点で36勝23敗を記録していたが、彼が戦列を離れている間は45勝39敗に留まった

Through their first 59 contests up to May 31st, the Yankees had posted a batting average of .243, 86 home runs, and an OPS of .770; however, with Judge sidelined, those figures plummeted 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を達成していたもののジャッジの離脱中は打率.227107本塁打、OPS.681へと低下した。

During that stretch, their batting average sank to 29th among all 30 major league clubs, barely edging out Seattle's .225.

その間の打率はメジャーリーグ全30球団中29位に沈みシアトル(.225)を僅かに上回るに過ぎなかった

"We managed to hold our ground by the skin of our teeth," Boone reminisced.

我々は辛うじて踏み堪えた」とブーンは述懐した

"In terms of our offensive output, there were indeed stretches where we were made to swallow a truly bitter draught."

攻勢の局面においては真に苦汁を舐めさせられる時期もあった

According to MLB Statcast's data analytics, during Judge's absence from the lineup, opposing pitching staffs exhibited a markedly more aggressive and audacious approach against the remaining Yankees batters.

MLBスタットキャストのデータ解析によれば、ジャッジの戦線離脱中相手投手陣は他のヤンキース打者に対してより積極果敢な攻めの投球姿勢を顕示した

Specifically, the strike rate against Ben Rice incrementally rose from 46.7% to 48.3%, while against Cody Bellinger it recorded an ascent from 47.3% to 49.7%.

具体的にはベン・ライスに対するストライク率は46.7%から48.3%へと漸増しコディ・ベリンジャーに対しては47.3%から49.7%へと上昇を記録したのである

"His mere presence confers upon the entire lineup a propensity to engender more propitious opportunities and superior plate appearances," Boone mused.

彼の周囲には全構成員にとってより有利な機会より優れた打席を創出するという効能が存在するとブーンは述懐した

"Our roster is replete with left-handed hitters, and that has remained an immutable verity throughout the lion's share of the season.

我々の陣容には左打者が多くそれはシーズンの大半を通じて不変の事実であった

Consequently, were a southpaw reliever to take the mound in the fifth, seventh, or ninth frame, and were the exigency to neutralize our left-handed batsmen by employing Aaron Judge as the pivotal fulcrum of their strategy not to arise, then to what magnitude, pray tell, would the frequency of such occurrences ascend?"

それゆえ仮に第五回第七回あるいは第九回の攻撃機において左腕の救援投手が登板し彼らが我々と対峙する際にアーロン・ジャッジを挟撃点として左打者を封殺する必要性が生じないとすればそのような状況が発生する頻度は一体どれほどのものになるであろうか?」

New York boasted a record of 81 wins against 62 losses, holding a four-game lead over Tampa Bay, the American League East division leaders, while securing a two-game cushion over Boston (8065), who stood at the forefront of the wild-card race.

ニューヨークは81勝62敗という成績を残しア・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位置するボストン(80勝65敗)には2ゲーム差を確保していた

Having clinched the season series, the Yankees retain 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優位性を保持している

Last season, Judge appeared in 152 games, posting career-best numbers with a .331 batting average, 53 home runs, and 114 RBIs, while simultaneously achieving the remarkable feat of securing his third MVP award and claiming his first career batting title.

昨季ジャッジは152試合に出場し打率.33153本塁打114打点という自己最高の成績を記録するとともに自身3度目となるMVP受賞と、キャリア初の打撃タイトル獲得という偉業を成し遂げた

Relief pitcher Fernando Cruz, who had been sidelined since August 25th owing to a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, has, following an examination by Keith Meister, the Texas Rangers' team physician, forsworn the option of undergoing Tommy John surgery and is now setting his sights on a return to the fray before the season's end.

右肘内側側副靭帯の部分断裂により8月25日より戦列を離脱していた救援投手フェルナンド・クルスは、テキサス・レンジャーズのチームドクターであるキース・マイスターによる診察を経た後トミー・ジョン手術を受ける選択肢を断念し今シーズン中の戦線復帰を目指している

Cruz has received a cortisone injection and is anticipated to resume his throwing regimen within the current week.

クルスはコルチゾン注射の投与を受け、今週中に投球練習を再開する見込みである

"Should a catastrophic failure transpire," he mused, "there would be no prospect of redemption left."

もし壊滅的な故障が生じたならば、もはや挽回の余地はない」と彼は述懐した

"Upon perceiving harbingers such as anomalous sounds or percussive detonations, recognize that the moment has arrived to undertake immediate surgical intervention."

異音や破裂音などの前兆を感知した際には直ちに手術的介入を講じるべき時機であると認識せよ

Left-hander Ryan Weathers, endeavoring to recuperate from the left forearm flexor strain that has consigned him to the sidelines since August 22, conducted a throwing session on flat ground, extending his tosses to a distance of 75 feet.

左腕のライアン・ウェザースは、8月22日以来の戦線離脱を余儀なくさせている左前腕屈筋の張りからの回復を目指しフラットグラウンドにて75フィートまでの投球練習を実施した

Weathers is slated to take the mound on both Wednesday and Thursday, with the implication that, following a respite on Friday, he may once again ascend the hill 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息を挟んだ上でその後再びマウンドに立つ可能性が示唆されている

He harbors an ardent aspiration to assume the role of a relief pitcher 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強く希求している。
