Judge’s Quiet Return, Pitching Carries Yankees | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge made his cautious return to the Yankees lineup, going hitless with two strikeouts in a quiet night as the team pulled off a 5-3 win over the Rockies — but it wasn’t Judge’s bat that carried them. Instead, solid pitching from Cam Schlittler kept the game under control, while Heliot Ramos, who replaced Judge, blasted a three-run homer to break things open. The Yankees are easing him back in, and while his bat speed remains elite, timing is still a work in progress — especially after skipping rehab. Don’t panic: Judge’s power is coming back, and the offense needs players like Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger to step up until he’s fully synced. With a weak Rockies pitching staff, this was the perfect setup for the offense to find its rhythm — and tougher tests await later this month.
