Judge was placed on the injured list with a strained left oblique<\/a>. \u201cWhenever I\u2019m having results and the team is out there fighting through things, hopefully it rubs off on everybody because everyone else\u2019s confidence is rubbing off on me, too.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\nFrazier hit cleanup in Sunday\u2019s depleted lineup that has held up well despite the loss of so many important hitters.<\/p>\n
Aaron Boone said afterwards that Frazier has exceeded expectations this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s fair,\u2019\u2019 the manager said. \u201cHe\u2019s been great. He\u2019s been an impact player for us. We\u2019ve never questioned the ability or the talent. Last year, he dealt with a lot with the concussion and we still saw glimpses of what we viewed as what would be a good major league hitter. He controls the strike zone and impacts the ball. He\u2019s a dangerous man when he walks up to the plate.\u201d<\/p>\n
He can be dangerous in more ways than one.<\/p>\n
After striking out with Brett Gardner on first to end the bottom of the ninth, Frazier snapped his bat over his leg, \u00e0 la Bo Jackson.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was anticipating a fastball at some point and he got me to chase,\u2019\u2019 Frazier said of the at-bat against Scott Barlow.<\/p>\n
As for the bat, Frazier isn\u2019t sure where it wound up.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt got tossed down the stairs,\u2019\u2019 Frazier said. \u201cI don\u2019t know where it ended up. Someone else disposed of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
Zack Britton gave the Yankees a scare in the 10th, when he appeared to hurt himself tagging out Terrance Gore at first on a rundown play. He stayed down briefly and was then looked at by the training staff before staying in the game. Britton had surgery on his Achilles in December, 2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I hurt anything, but where I had the Achilles surgery could have been scar tissue breaking down,\u2019\u2019 Britton said. \u201cYou don\u2019t work on rolling your ankle as part of rehab. With some new movement, I will feel something in there. It is part of the process of being two years out. I am not as athletic as I used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
The left-hander has been excellent in his last four outings, allowing just one runner.<\/p>\n\n
Thairo Estrada got his first major league at-bat in the bottom of the 10th, when Boone called on him to bunt Mike Tauchman and Gio Urshela over.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was definitely a special moment,\u2019\u2019 Estrada said through an interpreter. \u201cI was prepared mentally for it before.\u201d<\/p>\n
He impressed Boone with his nerve.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s here to do that,\u2019\u2019 the manager said. \u201cI was confident he could get the bunt down in that kind of matchup, which is not easy. You know they\u2019re selling out for the bunt\u2026 To be able to slow it down enough to go execute was good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
Mike Ford delivered his first major league hit with a double in the second and scored later in the inning.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had to wait a few games, but it was nice,\u2019\u2019 said Ford, who was called up after Greg Bird went down with a torn left plantar fascia. \u201cIt\u2019s just a relief. It\u2019s good to get it out of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
Gary Sanchez remains on schedule to rejoin the Yankees on Wednesday in Anaheim.<\/p>\n
The catcher took batting practice Sunday in The Bronx and is slated to start in a rehab game Monday for Single-A Charleston. The Yankees chose to have Sanchez play there because of inclement weather predicted for some of their other minor league spots.<\/p>\n
Boone said Sanchez will catch at least a few innings on Monday and as long as he doesn\u2019t have any setbacks, will head to Anaheim on Tuesday and be activated Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Miguel Andujar (sprained shoulder) made throws from third base again Sunday and will head to Tampa to further his rehab, as will Troy Tulowitzki (calf).<\/p>\n\n
The Yankees will start J.A. Happ on Monday in Anaheim, followed by Domingo German, but have yet to settle on a starter for Wednesday or Thursday. CC Sabathia is in line to go Wednesday, but Boone said he hasn\u2019t decided who will start that game.<\/p>\n\n
Luke Voit\u2019s fifth-inning single extended his on-base streak to 32 games, matching Aaron Judge\u2019s stretch from 2017. Next up is Derek Jeter\u2019s 36-game streak from 2011.<\/p>\n
