Manager Aaron Boone indicated before Friday's game that Judge's knee is fine and that the decision to rest him was a consequence of the slugger playing all 18 innings Thursday. Judge himself brushed off the collision, saying "Did you ask the wall?" when prompted with a question about his knee following the doubleheader, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
