Judge Returns as Yankees Push for Playoff Spot | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge is back—after 100 days sidelined by a rib injury—and the Yankees are riding his return into their final 19 games. Activated Monday, he debuted Tuesday against the Rockies, hitting third and playing right field in his first game since May 31. Manager Aaron Boone is easing him back with limited action to protect his recovery. No minor league rehab—just live BP and pitching sessions—to get him ready without rushing. Before the injury, Judge slashed .248 with 17 homers and 38 RBIs in 59 games; the team stayed competitive at 45-39 while he was out. Now, with the Rays four games ahead, Judge’s return could be the spark this playoff push needs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
