NEW YORK (AP) — After missing more than three months, Aaron Judge is ready to return to the New York Yankees. The three-time MVP was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday night, an off day for the Yankees.…
The New York Yankees welcomed back star outfielder Aaron Judge after he underwent a 60-day injured list stint due to a broken right rib. Judge, a three-time MVP, resumed his duties on Monday night, just an off day for the team, with the Yankees set to commence a three-game series at home against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. Judge had not played since May 31 and had participated in various batting practice sessions and base runs to prepare for his return.
He maintained that he wouldn't need a minor league rehab assignment to get back to form, stating, "If I tell them I’m ready to go play, I think we’re ready to go play." Currently, the Yankees (81-62) trail first-place Tampa Bay by four games in the AL East, while also holding the top American League wild card spot with a two-game advantage over Boston (80-65) in the tiebreaker scenario.
