Judge Activated Off 10-Day IL

NEW YORK, AUG 5 – Aaron Judge returns after a 10-day injury break, boosting a Yankees lineup struggling with pitching and bullpen issues amid a tight playoff race, per FanGraphs' 88% postseason probability.

  • On Tuesday, Aaron Judge returns from a 10-day injured list stint with a right flexor strain, surprising many Yankees fans and teammates.
  • His injury stemmed from a July 22 game in Toronto, and an MRI showed no acute UCL damage after a platelet-rich injection on July 27.
  • Since August, the Yankees' bullpen gave up seven earned runs against Miami, and their ERA has spiked to 7.15, while going 4-6 without Judge.
  • With playoff positioning precarious, the Yankees are now just 1.5 games ahead in the Wild Card race, and Manager Aaron Boone's job could be at risk if they miss the postseason.
  • In the coming days, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports `Aaron Judge could be back in the outfield sometime towards the weekend or early next week`.
