Aaron Judge’s return to the Yankees lineup is a major boost as they chase a playoff spot, trailing Tampa Bay by four games with just weeks left. Though he went 0-for-3 in his first game back, his presence energizes the team. With a favorable upcoming schedule against Rockies, Mets, and Twins, the Yankees aim to capitalize — but manager Aaron Boone is cautious, limiting Judge’s playing time initially to ensure he’s ready for October. The goal? Stay healthy and secure a postseason berth, even if it means falling short of the division title.
