Overview

  • Aaron Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday after an MRI confirmed a right forearm flexor strain with no UCL damage, eliminating the need for Tommy John surgery.
  • The Yankees activated utilityman Amed Rosario, acquired from the Nationals, to fill Judge’s roster spot and provide infield and outfield versatility.
  • Left-handed reliever Brent Headrick was called up from Triple-A to reinforce a bullpen that has been stretched thin.
  • Top prospect Spencer Jones remains in Triple-A due to recent back spasms, 40-man roster constraints, and a cautious approach to his development.
  • Giancarlo Stanton has resumed outfield drills to cover defensive duties while Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Jasson Domínguez rotate in right field.
