New York Yankees star Aaron Judge will return to the lineup Tuesday against the Texas Rangers after missing over a week with a right elbow flexor strain. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed the move, noting Judge will be activated from the injured list and serve as the designated hitter while continuing his throwing progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judge had been sidelined since July 25 but avoided structural damage to his elbow, allowing for a quicker-than-expected recovery. He recently resumed batting activities and completed workouts at the team\u2019s facility in Tampa before traveling to Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to the injury, Judge was having a standout season, leading MLB with a .342 batting average and 37 home runs. His return comes at a critical time, as the Yankees look to regain momentum after a rough 10-game stretch without their captain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
