Aaron Judge’s Vaccine Status In Question Following NYC Mandate Report

Would Aaron Judge have to sit out games at Yankee Stadium if the season started today?

We’ve seen Kyrie Irving continue to have to sit our Nets games because of a New York mandate that doesn’t allow for unvaccinated workers to do their jobs in arenas and crowded places.

And with baseball season right around the corner, it appears as though the same mandate would apply.

Is Aaron Judge Vaccinated?

With the mandate still a large question mark, Yankees slugger Aaron Judge was asked during Spring Training if he had received the COVID vaccine.

He completely side-stepped the question.

If Aaron Judge is, in fact, unvaccinated, it’s still hard to imagine he’ll have to miss the entire 81-game home slate this season.

With all the backlash from the Kyrie Irving situation, one would think the MLB will be removed from this mandate (because players are outside). But even if not, the mandate likely won’t last too much longer.

Nevertheless, Yankees fans now have reason to worry following Aaron Judge’s vaccine comments.
