After a hiatus, the podcast returns but obviously it isn’t the most anticipated comeback in Yankee Universe. While reports emerge that Aroldis Chapman is close to pitching a simulated game and possibly rejoining the team, all eyes are on Aaron Judge. The power hitter has taken on-field batting practice the last three days (two as of this episode’s taping). With how spot on he was in his analysis last time, we asked physical therapist Jimmy McKay, Director of Communications at Fox Rehabilitation and host of the “PT Pintcast” back on to the show. He’ll break down the typical next steps and expectations with an injury like Judge’s.
Then, I talk about a few other items of interest for fans: what we can expect from the Yankees after the Ballpark Pass was offered for a second consecutive month, the new City Winery Wine Bar behind section 106 and the implementation of Ticketmaster’s “Verfied Fan” platform for Yankees postseason ticket sales, which kick off Thursday morning.
