  "account": "After 99 days, Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge is back in action after being sidelined with a fractured rib. This marks a significant comeback for the three-time American League Most Valuable Player, who last played on May 31, leading to his placement on the 60-day disabled list. Judge's return to the Yankees has already sparked a noticeable increase in ticket prices on the resale market for his first home game against the Rockies, scheduled for Tuesday night. As of Tuesday morning, the average ticket price for the game stood at $87, more than double the price from the previous Saturday and considerably higher than a typical midweek game against a weaker opponent. Fans are eagerly anticipating Judge's return following the longest injury of his illustrious career.",
