Aaron Judge Takes Third-Base Grounders in Warmups at Fenway

The Yankees say it was a warmup drill rather than a position switch.

Overview

  • MLB.com's Bryan Hoch posted video of Aaron Judge taking third-base grounders during Tuesday warmups at Fenway Park.
  • Manager Aaron Boone joked about starting Judge there Saturday, then said he was not serious.
  • The team has framed the work as routine pregame reps and not a move to the hot corner.
  • Third base has been a thin spot for New York’s lineup, with Ryan McMahon struggling to produce at the plate.
  • Judge has never played an infield inning in the majors, and past speculation has focused on a later move to first base.
