Aaron Judge Returns to Right Field

Friday marked a big moment in the Bronx—Aaron Judge returned to right field after spending time on the injured list with a right flexor strain suffered in July.

While fans were thrilled to see him back where he belongs, Judge’s return came with a bit of hesitation. In the first inning, he opted for a short throw to second base instead of gunning home, raising eyebrows about whether he’s fully confident in his arm's ability.

When pressed about Judge’s readiness, manager Aaron Boone offered a standoffish response, keeping his cards close to the vest. For Yankees fans, it’s equal parts relief to see their captain roaming right field again and concern about whether he’s truly 100% for the playoff push.
