Aaron Judge returned to the Yankees lineup after a 10-day stint on the injured list due to a right flexor strain in his elbow. The team has struggled significantly during his absence, losing 28 of 46 games. Until fully recovered, Judge will primarily serve as the designated hitter. Manager Aaron Boone expressed confidence in Judge's readiness and improvement, although a timeline for his return to right field remains unclear. Judge is in the process of resuming his throwing program following his injury.
The Yankees, who entered Tuesday having lost 28 of their last 46 games, went 4-6 without Judge. The outfielder, because of the nature of his injury and the Yankees not wanting him to throw, was at designated hitter Tuesday night and will solely DH on the days he plays in the near future.
Manager Aaron Boone expressed optimism about Judge's return, saying, "Feel like he's had a good week leading up to this. Ready to go and hopefully it's the start of something really good ... He's been pretty upbeat about the progress he's made."
