Aaron Boone reveals when Aaron Judge will make his return for Yankees

Aaron Boone watched as the New York Yankees once again failed to hold a lead in a recent game against the Rangers, with another error giving their opponent an advantage. However, he did offer a silver lining by providing a timeline for the return of the powerful Aaron Judge to the lineup.

According to Boone’s most recent comments after the game against the Rangers, Judge will be activated on Tuesday, as reported by Underdog MLB on X. This good news could lift the spirits of both the team and its fans, who have watched the Yankees continue to slide and fall further out of the postseason race.

It’s painfully obvious the Yankees need help. So far in August, they haven’t won a single game. Still, it’s not all bad with some players on the roster; Giancarlo Stanton is back and contributing what he can, Anthony Volpe has flashes of good moments, and if Aaron Judge is on form, he could provide a much-needed offensive boost.

How Long Has Judge Been Sidelined?

Judge has been recovering from a flexor strain in his elbow and hasn’t played since July 25, a game against the Phillies where he went 0-for-3. He hasn’t hit a home run for the Yankees since July 23, in a game against the Blue Jays.

The Team’s Best Average Returns

With Judge’s return, the Yankees not only get back a player who can contribute with his experience but also their best hitter among the starters, with a .342 batting average on the season. Additionally, he’s the team’s top run producer with a total of 90 RBIs.

The Yankees should at least use Judge to try to break their current four-game losing streak. While not a huge number, with August being a crucial month for the postseason push, they likely need to stack up more wins. They will return home on August 8 to play against the Astros.
