Aaron Judge is hurting, and the Yankees have to be sweating this one. The star slugger has been battling shoulder soreness that escalated over the weekend, and imaging has confirmed a bone bruise. Judge met with doctors Tuesday night, and New York is holding its breath waiting on next steps for their most irreplaceable piece.
Shifting to Pittsburgh, the Steelers made a significant commitment to one of their brightest young pass rushers. Nick Herbig is staying put, locking in a four-year, one hundred million dollar extension with forty-two million guaranteed. The former fourth-round pick out of the twenty twenty three draft posted seven and a half sacks last season as a part-time starter, and Pittsburgh clearly believes the ceiling is nowhere near reached.
And in Kansas City, Bobby Witt Junior is generating serious MVP buzz despite the Royals sitting near the bottom of the standings. Sporting News projects Witt has as clean a path as any player in baseball to capture the award, which would end a forty-six year drought for the franchise. The talent has never been in question, and this could be the year the hardware finally follows.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
