The New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 4-2 in Arlington on Thursday night, which is good, but Aaron Judge was taken out in the fourth inning after feeling discomfort in his right hip. That’s not good. Judge felt it when he woke up after that awkward slide in Minnesota. He won’t be going for tests yet, but he will be out the next couple of days and could miss the rest of the series. Should Yankee fans be worried? Gerrit Cole continues to pitch well. He won his fifth game of the year, and he’s now gone six straight starts without giving up a home run (150 batters faced). We answer your questions because it’s Fan Friday, and we forgot to do hot, cold, and heating up on Thursday’s show, so we did it today instead. (The Yankees’ offensive explosion in Minny distracted us.) We also preview the remainder of the pitching matchups for the weekend in Texas. Friday’s matchup is Clarke Schmidt vs. Jacob deGrom which could be interesting. Old friend Nathan Eovaldi is starting for Texas on Saturday, and we’ll see if Nestor can bounce back a bit in the finale on Sunday,
