The New York Yankees were banged up this year, losing Aaron Judge, Max Fried, Giancarlo Stanton and others for extended periods of time.
They'll need to be healthier in 2027 if they want to win the World Series next year. Fortunately, they got some good news on that front this week.
On Tuesday, Yankees GM Brian Cashman said that Fried underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his pitching elbow and is expected to be ready for Spring Training,
Cashman also had good news on Judge.
“He’s currently in a good place,” Cashman said. “No new added features to his circumstance, outside of [that Judge will] take the winter to continue to rest up and he’ll be ready to go. But there’s no new procedures or anything there.”
That's encouraging for New York, which is counting on both stars to stay healthy and perform at a high level next season as the club looks to end its championship drought.
