Judge Returns in Limited Role | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge is set to return to the Yankees lineup after a three-month rib stress fracture layoff, but don’t expect him to start at full throttle—he’ll be eased back in with early exits and limited innings. Manager Aaron Boone’s cautious approach makes sense: avoid re-injury while rebuilding his rhythm. The Yankees, currently atop the AL Wild Card with a 45-39 record, have held steady without Judge, though they’re near the bottom in runs scored. Before his injury, Judge was hitting .248 with 17 homers and 38 RBIs in 59 games. With Spencer Jones and Ben Rice stepping up in his absence, tonight’s opener against the Rockies marks a major moment for fans—and a hopeful sign for the team’s offense as Judge slowly resumes his dominance.
