One bat up near the top that hasn't gotten going consistently, however, is Aaron Judge, who is batting under .200 through nearly 20 games in already. The team isn't worried about his slow start as Judge has maintained his elite on-base skills and has found a knack for hitting a few out already despite the lack of hits overall, and he's also been finding himself in clutch moments like at the end of Wednesday's game where he drove in the go-ahead runs on a sharp single.
The Yankees were one of the teams targeted the most in the latest Rule 5 Draft, and it makes sense to check in and see how their former prospects are doing as they could be returned to them if their new organizations aren't pleased with their results. Currently, the two active players to watch are Mitch Spence, who has been solid for the Oakland A's bullpen, and Matt Sauer, who hasn't seen much action for a Royals team that has surprised many to this point.
With John Sterling's immediate retirement, there's a large hole in the Yankees' radio booth to fill. For right now, there's no plans to rush to name a full-time replacement, as Justin Shackil and Emmanuel Berbari are still slated to share the duty of calling games with Suzyn Waldman for the majority of the season.
