Aaron Judge hosts 232 young Bronx players, donates $9,999 to Little League
On August 11, 2026, Aaron Judge's ALL RISE Foundation held a memorable Baseball ProCamp for 232 aspiring Bronx Little Leaguers at Fordham University. The event included participation from former Yankees player Tyler Wade. Judge took the opportunity to share insights on teamwork with the youngsters. Additionally, the foundation generously donated $9,999.
New York Yankees' captain Aaron Judge remains uncertain about his availability for the American League Division Series (ALDS) after leading his team to a sweep over the Boston Red Sox in the Wild Card round. Judge, who has been sidelined since September 16 due to a strained right calf, participated in live batting practice at the Yankees' Double-A ballpark in Somerset, New Jersey, in an effort to recover from the leg injury before the postseason.
Speaking after the 9-2 victory, Judge expressed his determination to be ready for Game 1 of the ALDS, scheduled for Saturday, emphasizing that he was doing everything possible to prepare himself. However, he did not accompany his team to the first-base line for introductions prior to the Yankees' 9-0 victory in the Wild Card opener.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone noted that Judge was receiving treatment. The three-time AL Most Valuable Player had played just 66 games this season, batting .241 with 18 home runs, 41 RBIs, and an .871 OPS, including a .174 average with one homer and three RBIs in September. Left-hander Ryan Weathers, sidelined since August 22 due to a left forearm flexor strain, was scheduled to throw a bullpen session at Yankee Stadium.
Boone also confirmed that right-hander Clarke Schmidt, who returned from Tommy John surgery on July 11, 2025, with right biceps inflammation, will not pitch again this year.
