Aaron Judge returns to lineup as DH in Yankees' loss to Rangers

ARLINGTON, Texas — Aaron Judge was back in the lineup as the designated hitter for the New York Yankees on Tuesday night following a 10-day stint on the injured list with a flexor tendon strain in his right elbow.

There's still no clarity on when the All-Star slugger will return to the outfield.

Judge went 0-for-3 batting third in a 2-0 loss to the Texas Rangers. Manager Aaron Boone said Judge is supposed to start a throwing program Wednesday.

Boone all but ruled out Judge returning to the outfield as early as the next couple of days.

"I don't want to get ahead of myself," Boone said. "See how that first day goes. From there, we'll probably have a better idea after a day or two of that."

Judge's return can't shake Yanks' funk as skid hits 5

ARLINGTON — The Yankees have their captain back now, but the ship is still running aground.

Reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge returned to the lineup Tuesday night, but neither the Yankees' slugger nor any of his teammates had an answer for Rangers ace Nathan Eovaldi in a 2-0 loss — the Yankees’ fifth consecutive defeat.

"We’ve got some work to do,” said Judge, one of eight Yankees who went hitless against Eovaldi. “A lot of things to clean up. But the boys in here are fired up to change all that and get things right. We’ve got a great ballclub in here, so … it’s just a lot of mistakes all around, some mental mistakes and physical mistakes. But we’ve got to fix them. We’ve got to fix them now.”

The struggling New York Yankees will get their captain back Tuesday. Aaron Judge has been activated off the injured list after missing the minimum 10 days with a flexor strain, the team announced. The loss was New York's fourth straight, putting them only 1 ½ games up on a wild card spot.

"It's Aaron Judge. We know what he means to our lineup, to the guys in the room," manager Aaron Boone Boone told reporters Monday when asked about activating Judge (via MLB.com). "So to get him back, we're certainly excited about that. And then hopefully, shortly thereafter, he's back out in the field too."
