Yankees' Aaron Judge cleared for intrasquad scrimmage after sore neck

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has got to stop worrying fans about his health. 

The Yankees had to shut down the 2017 Rookie of the Year in March after he endured complications caused by a stress fracture to his right rib that he suffered last season, and he then informed the club he woke up with a sore neck last weekend. 

As ESPN's Marly Rivera reported, Judge feels better and will feature in Wednesday's intrasquad outing ahead of Saturday's scheduled exhibition versus crosstown rivals the New York Mets. The 28-year-old will play in right field and bat second in the order on Wednesday evening. 

Injury woes have plagued Judge since his stellar debut year. In 102 regular-season games and 378 at-bats last season, he hit .272, blasted 27 home runs and drove home 55 RBI.
