PHOENIX — The great Aaron Judge appeared here Saturday afternoon for a two-minute, 17-second interview regarding his latest infirmity, the bum calf that’s derailed his long-awaited comeback from the broken rib.

“Short and sweet,” Judge said good-naturedly.

The Yankees and their fans are hoping — really, praying — that in coming days they see a lot more than that of the league’s best hitter (sorry, Yordan Alvarez fans). But realistically, that’s far from guaranteed now that he’s on the injured list yet again, and without a timetable yet again.

It’s not so much what was said over the past couple of days since Judge’s calf strain was unhappily revealed, but what wasn’t.
