Aaron Judge Won't Be 100 Percent Until Opening Day

Feb 27, 2018 7:43 AM

Aaron Judge still isn't feeling 100 percent since his offseason shoulder surgery and doesn't expect to be feeling fully back until Opening Day.

Judge will appear in his first spring training game on Wednesday.

"It's a work in progress until Opening Day," Judge said.

The New York Yankees open the season at the Toronto Blue Jays on March 29.

The club announced in November that the procedure Judge had in Los Angeles involved a "loose-body removal and cartilage clean-up." They also anticipated Judge's recovery time would be complete in advance of the start of spring training.

Wheeler Undergoes Injections To Get Back To Health

Feb 12, 2018 7:24 AM

Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler has undergone a series of injections to get back to full health following a stress reaction in his right arm that cut his 2017 season short.

Wheeler told the New York Post that he was using the prescription medicine Forteo in an effort to strengthen the bone.

"You do a shot in your stomach every day for six months. It's not fun, but you got to do it," Wheeler told the Post. "They give it to people with brittle bones, osteoporosis. My arm feels great. I've been on the mound six times now, so if this helps me get to 30 starts, I'm all for it."
