You can’t blame Aaron Boone if he held his breath for a second after Aaron Judge made a diving catch in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 3-1 win over the Tigers on Monday night.

Boone had already gotten troubling MRI results on two of his stars earlier in the day. Now, Judge was diving to backhand a ball off the bat of Niko Goodrum with two runners on and no outs, landing awkwardly on his hand and wrist.

“I felt like I saw it pretty well and I felt like I knew he was fine, but definitely one of those that you kind of hold your breath on,” Boone said.

Boone had lost Giancarlo Stanton and Miguel Andujar to the 10-day injured list, and Andujar’s season could be in jeopardy. The last thing the Yankees need now is to lose Judge, whose diving catch was the play of the game.

Reliever Adam Ottavino walked the first two batters he faced in the eighth with the Yankees clinging to a 3-1 lead. When the ball left Goodrum’s bat, it looked like it could drive in at least one run. Instead, Judge made the grab and calmed the waters.

“I told [Brett Gardner] right before that play I was going to dive and make a play right there,” Judge said. “I just had to do my job.”

Yankees fans may remember Hideki Matsui breaking his wrist in 2006 and ending his consecutive games streak on a similar play.

“That’s one of those dangerous plays for an outfielder, especially coming straight on like that,” Boone said. “It’s hard for them to sometimes to get underneath that ball and make the play and not hurt themselves.”
