Aaron Judge is back from injury. Although he did not perform that well in his return game, the Yankees pulled off a massive win. Furthermore, the team will look forward to his batting form returning as they try to escape a spell of bad form. Judge has performed at a decent level so far this season but will need to amp it up as the games go by. It will be interesting to see how the team progresses with one last game against the Athletics ahead.
