Judge Returns, But First Tennis | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge is back—officially activated after a brutal three-month rib injury layoff—and while the Yankees desperately needed him, his first public appearance wasn’t at Yankee Stadium. Instead, he was courtside at the U.S. Open in Queens, cheering on Coco Gauff with his wife Samantha, showcasing the human side of baseball’s biggest star. After a grueling rehab process that included live pitching and batting practice, Judge’s return feels both monumental and oddly serene—especially as teammates like Spencer Jones and George Lombard Jr. joined him at Flushing Meadows for some much-needed team bonding. With the Yankees four games back in the AL East but still alive in the wild-card race, all eyes turn to Judge as they gear up for a critical series against the Rockies. Can he lead them back into playoff contention after such a long absence? The world’s watching. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
