Aaron Judge was reinstated from the IL just ten days ago and has rejuvenated this distressed Yankees club. The Yankees have had a whirlwind of a season and it's not even June yet. When Judge went down, it deflated the Bombers quite quickly.
Judge is batting .324 with six home runs and 14 RBI in 10 games, including going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in last night's 4-2 victory over the Blue Jays.
The Yankees are slowly getting healthier as the season progresses, but having their captain back on the field was exactly what they needed to stay afloat until reinforcements arrive.
The Yankees are now 5-3 in their last eight games. Being against their two biggest AL East opponents, the Rays and Blue Jays. Judge being a huge reason why.
