"He is unlikely to see the full nine innings today, notwithstanding his fervent desire to do so," remarked Aaron Boone, the Yankees' skipper.
“他今日恐难打满全场,纵使其心向往之,”洋基队主教练亚伦·布恩如是说。
"Within the confines of this series, he may well avail himself of a day's respite."
“此系列赛中,他或将择一日休整。”
Judge, a three-time recipient of the American League Most Valuable Player accolade, has been conspicuously absent from the diamond for a staggering 84 games since his last appearance on May 31.
作为三度荣膺美联最有价值球员殊荣的贾奇,自5月31日最后一次披挂上阵以来,已阔别赛场长达84场之巨。
The seasoned 34-year-old veteran, following the forced departure of center fielder Trent Grisham due to a hamstring strain on Friday evening, lobbied Boone with unrelenting fervor, beseeching him to reinstate him onto the active roster.
这位现年34岁的沙场老将,在周五晚间中外野手特伦特·格里沙姆因腿筋拉伤被迫离场后,不遗余力地游说布恩,恳请其将其重新纳入激活名单。
"After Grisham sustained his injury, he arrived unannounced at my doorstep in San Diego, declaring, 'I shall be ready to take the field come tomorrow,'" Boone recollected.
“格里沙姆负伤之后,竟不期而至,现身于我在圣迭戈的寓所门前:‘明日即可整装待发,’”布恩追忆道。
"I was truly reluctant to proceed thus, for we had indeed harboured hopes that he would deliberate upon certain concluding matters."
“我实不愿如此,因我们确曾冀望他审度若干收尾之务。”
On Monday's off-day, Judge engaged in batting practice at Yankee Stadium and was formally reinstated that very evening.
贾奇于周一的休赛日,在洋基体育场进行了击球练习,并于当晚被正式激活。
Boone held successive private consultations with Judge and strength coach Brett McCabe, thereafter conferring individually with the athletic training staff, general manager Brian Cashman, and principal owner Hal Steinbrenner.
布恩先后与贾奇及体能教练布雷特·麦凯布进行了单独会谈,随后又与运动训练人员、总经理布莱恩·卡什曼以及老板哈尔·斯坦布伦纳逐一沟通。
Judge deliberately eschewed all contact with the press prior to the game, and during Tuesday's batting practice, he dispatched multiple home runs with precision to the deep recesses of right field, center field, and left field alike.
贾奇在赛前刻意规避了与记者的任何接触,于周二的击球练习中,将多记本垒打精准地送抵右外野、中外野及左外野的深远区域。
As he took the field, his batting average stood at .248, with a cumulative tally of 17 home runs and 38 runs batted in, while his on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) soared to an impressive .907.
他步入赛场之际,打击率定格于.248,累计轰出17支本垒打、贡献38分打点,攻击指数(OPS)则高达.907。
Judge initially sustained the injury on April 26 in Houston while endeavoring to elude second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., at which juncture his diving attempt proved ineffectual.
贾奇最初于4月26日在休斯顿试图规避二垒手贾兹·奇泽姆二世时负伤,彼时其飞身扑救未能奏效。
Across the 31 contests preceding his placement on the injured list, he maintained a batting average of .263, amassing seven home runs and contributing 20 runs batted in.
在进入伤病名单前所参与的31场比赛中,他的打击率为.263,累计击出7支本垒打并贡献20分打点。
Nevertheless, during the 18 fixtures leading up to his designation for the injured list, he had registered merely a solitary home run.
然而,在列入伤病名单前的18场赛事中,他仅有一支本垒打入账。
Since Judge concluded his season on May 31, the New York squad's record has been fixed at 36 wins and 23 losses, whereas during his absence, the team has posted a 45-39 ledger.
自贾奇于5月31日完成其赛季收官之战后,纽约队的战绩便定格于36胜23负,而在他缺阵的这段时日里,球队则录得45胜39负的战绩。
As of May 31, the Yankees had compiled a .243 batting average, 86 home runs, and a .770 OPS across 59 contests; however, in Judge's absence, their batting average plummeted to .227, their home run tally surged to 107, and their OPS dipped to .681.
截至5月31日,洋基队在59场比赛中交出了.243的打击率、86支本垒打以及.770的OPS值;然而,在贾奇缺席期间,他们的打击率骤降至.227,本垒打数攀升至107支,OPS值亦滑落至.681。
Over this span, their batting average ranked 29th among the league's 30 franchises, edging out only Seattle's .225 by a slender margin.
在此期间,其打击率在联盟30支球队中位列第29位,仅以微弱优势领先于西雅图队的.225。
"We ultimately weathered the storm," Boone remarked.
"我们终究挺了过来,"布恩如是说。
"We endured the darkest hours when our offense was mired in a quagmire, and the harrowing struggle of that period still lingers as a haunting specter."
"我们曾历经进攻端深陷泥淖的至暗时刻,那种步履维艰的窘境至今仍令人心有余悸。"
According to MLB Statcast tracking data, during Judge's absence, opposing pitchers exhibited a markedly heightened aggressiveness in attacking the strike zone when facing the remainder of the Yankees' lineup.
据MLB Statcast的追踪数据所示,在贾奇缺阵期间,对方投手面对洋基队其余打者时,投球进垒的积极程度呈现出显著的提升态势。
Specifically, Ben Rice's Zone% ascended from a prior 46.7% to 48.3%, while Cody Bellinger's Zone% rose from 47.3% to 49.7% — both registering appreciable increments, a shift that subtly reflects the nuanced recalibration of opposing pitching strategy.
具体而言,本·赖斯的Zone%由此前的46.7%攀升至48.3%,而科迪·贝林杰的Zone%则从47.3%上扬至49.7%,两者均展现出可观的增幅,这一变化折射出对方投手策略的微妙调整。
"Those around him will consequently encounter more favourable circumstances and superior at-bats," Boone remarked.
“他周遭之人将因此际遇更优、打席更佳,”布恩言道。
"Our lineup is replete with left-handed hitters, and such has been the case for the greater part of this season.
“我队左打者众多,本季泰半时光皆如此。
Thus, on several days each week, we find ourselves facing left-handed pitching in the fifth, seventh, and ninth innings, as they deploy strategic offerings against us without the necessity of circumventing Aaron Judge to engage those left-handed batters?"
故一周数日,第五、第七及第九局须面对左投,彼等针对吾辈施以策略性投球,而无须绕过亚伦·贾奇方得迎战那些左打者?”
As they took the field, the New Yorkers stood proudly at 81-62, four games adrift of the American League East-leading Tampa Bay club, yet holding a two-game edge over Boston (80-65) in the wild-card race.
步入赛场之际,纽约队以81胜62负的战绩傲然挺立,较之美联东区霸主坦帕湾队尚有4个胜场之遥,而在外卡争夺战中,他们则以2个胜场的优势力压波士顿队(80胜65负)。
Given their head-to-head series dominance over the Red Sox this season, the Yankees were likely to possess the tiebreaker advantage—a strategic fulcrum of no small consequence.
鉴于洋基队本赛季与红袜队的系列赛交锋中占据上风,他们极有可能握有平局决胜的主动权,此等优势,实乃战略要冲。
In the 152 games he played last season, Judge delivered a career-best batting average of .331, along with 53 home runs and 114 RBIs, thereby securing his third Most Valuable Player award and clinching the batting title for the first time.
贾奇在去年出战的152场比赛中,交出了职业生涯巅峰的.331打击率、53支本垒打及114分打点的成绩单,由此斩获其个人第三座最有价值球员奖杯,并首度加冕打击王头衔。
"If it snaps, it snaps," he remarked.
“倘若其断裂,则断裂矣,”他言道。
"Should you hear a resounding crack or any anomalous sound, that shall be the moment for surgical intervention."
“若尔闻砰然之响或任何异声,则即为施行手术之刻也。”
Weathers is slated to resume throwing on Wednesday and Thursday, with Friday earmarked for rest, after which he may engage in bullpen sessions.
韦瑟斯拟定于周三及周四再度进行投掷,周五休整,其后或将参与牛棚练投。
He harbors a fervent aspiration to shoulder the mantle of a bullpen pitcher in the postseason.
他殷切期望能在季后赛中肩负起牛棚投手的重任。
