Aaron Judge injury: Why the Yankees are unlikely to call up top prospect Spencer Jones as a replacement

New York’s Yankees Star Aharon Judge took place on Saturday and will be placed on the affected list Against the Filadelphia Filadelphia Filadelphia, the Final Filadelphia of Sunday after suffering flexery strain. Since the tests did not show UCL damage, Yankees Manager Aaron Boone told reporters after the loss of 9-4 of the team, that he would miss an optimistic judge for only 10 days. However, Baro warned that the judge may be limited to strike on a period after returning to the composition.

“I couldn’t throw. That type is, “said the judge about his illness.

Yanks have not yet officially put a judge on IL, nor have they taken a corresponding step. It would be surprising that it can be whether it can be Spencer Jones Access Point, 6-foot-7 perspective that used to make unfair comparisons. Jones 24-year-old was triple on three days ago, when he was stimulated a few weeks ago.

But by calling Jones, however, it seems unlikely, for several reasons we will explain below.

1. Logistics:

The dirty secret about the movements of the baseball list is that many of them are determined by logistics. The ruling rules limit how many players can be on the 40-player list, how many times can they be optional and more? In turn, teams are cautious when they want to add players, or often, it must be added, so they can maintain as much flexibility as possible.

Jones, in turn, is currently on the list of 40 players. If it was a long and short, he would be unfavorable for some alternatives who are already on the 40-player list, such as Everson Pereira and Bryan de La Cruz.

But predictably, it is not a complete story. There are other factors that reduce Jones chances that need to be replaced by a judge on an active list.

2. Space and time

Consider an easy way to apply to two birds with this single yellow condition.

Most importantly, Jones deals with its physical problems. He missed the game on Friday due to the back spasms, and he was not listed in the starting line of the week. No team is going to stimulate the player to replace the damaged star.

There is also the reality that the yanks obviously want to play Jones every day, not something he will have the right to the League list. Even before the judge was injured, Yankez had to have a rational plate for a group that included Cody Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton, Jasson Domnngmidt and Ben Rice.

To another way: Instead of Pereira or De La Cruz, food, because whoever yanks probably won’t play before the judge returns.

Despite the decisions of this type of short-term prospects. Yankees should also remember the long-term image. Listen to it sound like Segue.

3: Development concerns

As efficient, because Jones has tripled, there is a reason to be patient with his development. In particular, he continues to turn around and miss at extreme levels. Existing on Saturday, Jones’ Triple-A WHIFF level was 36.4%; The whim of his zone was 30.6%.

For a certain number of those figures, they think that only one qualified Big-League Hitters have rotated in this season with a higher frequency than Jones. (Randomly, the next two highest rhythm and skipping prices are qualified MLB Hitters belong to Yankees: Ryan McMahon recently tradition MLB The hypert was even more than 27%. San Francisco giants are star Raphael Dress.

Jones enables him to overcome his communication problems. But if you are yankees, there is no real damage, allowing him to continue to work away from the spotlight, particularly when the logistics and term offer that he is the best option.
