ARLINGTON, Texas —

Boone said he had no update after Friday’s 5-2 loss to Texas on Judge’s status or his prognosis, saying they were still waiting for team physician Christopher Ahmad to review the MRI results.

“It doesn’t seem too serious but that said we still don’t have a clear picture of it yet,” Boone said.

Prior to the game, there were no moves for the 26-man roster, though Jake Bauers was brought up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and went on New York’s taxi squad. Bauers was hitting .319 with nine home runs in 21 games.

“It was two-fold, obviously to give us some coverage there, but he could be in play any way moving forward,” Boone said of the move with Bauers. “But definitely wanted to put ourselves in a position to be covered just in case.”

Judge had an awkward head-first slide when trying to steal a base in the second inning Wednesday at Minnesota. His shoulders lurched forward ahead of his arms, and his right hand was jammed into the dirt underneath the weight of his body. He jogged without stopping off the diamond and up the tunnel to the clubhouse.

After staying in that game, on his 31st birthday, Judge also started the opener in Texas though he acknowledged afterward that he never could loosen up.

“Just the whole right side of the body when you do a have a pretty bad slide like that, you know, you kind of feel it the next day,” Judge said after the Yankees’ 4-2 win at Texas.

New York already was playing without outfielders Giancarlo Stanton (left hamstring strain) and Harrison Bader (left oblique strain), and third baseman Josh Donaldson (right hamstring strain). All are on the injured list, along with six pitchers.

Judge entered Friday batting .267 with six home runs and 14 RBIs in 25 games.
