Summary
Aaron Judge’s latest injury scare has the Yankees staring at a major October concern. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate how worried fans should be after Judge exited with lower-body tightness, whether he can possibly be fully healthy for the postseason, and why protecting him as the designated hitter may now be necessary. That decision could force major lineup changes involving Ben Rice, Luis Garcia, George Lombard Jr. and Anthony Volpe. With the AL East slipping away, the Yankees’ priority shifts toward getting ready for October. Plus, Evan unloads on Pete Alonso’s surprising Yankee Stadium comment after his emotional return to Citi Field, while the crew examines why the Mets’ failure to properly replace Alonso made his homecoming even more painful for fans.
