Judge should be reinstated next week, while Stanton does not have a timetable for a return.

As for his overall value this year, he has a -0.4 fWAR as the fourth worst Yankee to play this year by WAR.Ĭalhoun is in the bigs simply for depth to fill the gaps of Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge, and previously Harrison Bader, who just got activated off the 10-Day IL.

Starting Thursday, the Yankees play their next six games on the road, which could serve Hicks well, but Boone seemed confident it’s not.
