"Aaron Judge returns to the outfield as the Yankees begin a pivotal series against the Blue Jays. He's making his first start in right field since being diagnosed with a flexor strain on July 26. That sent Judge to the injured list for a minimal 10 days. He spent the next month as a full-time designated hitter because the forearm issue made it difficult for him to throw."
"The Yankees will ease Judge back to action. Manager Aaron Boone told reporters (including Bryan Hoch of MLB.com) that the two-time MVP will not play defense every day. Boone suggested Judge will divide right field playing time with Giancarlo Stanton. They'll happily take whatever opportunities they can to keep Stanton out of the outfield. He's in the DH spot tonight against Kevin Gausman."
Aaron Judge returns to right field after a flexor strain that sent him to the injured list on July 26. He spent about a month as a full-time designated hitter because the forearm issue limited his throwing. The Yankees will ease him back into defense, with Manager Aaron Boone saying Judge will not play defense every day and will split right field duties with Giancarlo Stanton, who is in the DH spot tonight against Kevin Gausman. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is back at second base after sustaining knee contusions; testing ruled out ligament damage. The Blue Jays lead the AL East by three games; New York sits half a game ahead of Boston for second place and the top American League wild-card spot, with all three East teams holding strong postseason odds and the division winner likely securing a top-two seed.
