Overview

• The Yankees’ lineup listed Aaron Judge in right field for the first time since late July, a move confirmed by MLB reporter Bryan Hoch after the team posted it on X.
• In Sunday’s win over Toronto, Judge’s throws were measured far below his pre‑injury norm of about 90 mph, including tracked readings of 70 mph and 62 mph.
• Opponents tested his arm repeatedly, yet Judge preserved a 4–3 lead with a diving catch on George Springer’s liner that saved a run with a runner on second.
• Manager Aaron Boone said Judge’s throws looked “good” and indicated ongoing discussions about how often Judge and Giancarlo Stanton will play the outfield.
• Media voices and fans criticized the club’s messaging on Judge’s elbow, with Joel Sherman calling the portrayal of his readiness misleading as the postseason race tightens.
