Judge was a late scratch from Saturday night's intrasquad game with a neck issue that doesn't seem severe, but time will tell.

The Mets have only two games, against the Yankees, before setting roster at 30 to begin the regular season.

According to Boone, Chapman is displaying mild symptoms.

"All you see [top to bottom] in their system," one National League scout said recently, "is quality arms."

Garcia showed off some of his repertoire in Thursday night's brief outing, a 1-2-3, 12-pitch first. He retired Mike Tauchman and Miguel Andujar, and then struck out Gary Sanchez on three pitches.

There will be six Subway Series games against the Mets, July 2-4 at the Stadium and Sept. 10-12 at Citi Field, with the middle game marking the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Even though the Yanks have infield depth, LeMahieu will be sorely missed and timetable for return from coronavirus is very much up in the air.

Boone was responding to a question about an ESPN story that said the Yankees were discouraging Judge from speaking out on racial issues.

Durability has been an issue for Sanchez, but the time off and shortened season should serve him well physically.

Former Yankee skipper says it will be good coming back to see some people that he knows.

The ace righthander did not allow a hit after an early home run and ended up retiring the last nine batters he faced Tuesday night.

The always in-shape Chapman dropped 10 pounds from 218 to 208 and is even fitter.
