However, the Yankees were dealt a tough blow after 2024 AL MVP Aaron Judge suffered a right flexor strain during the sixth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays. Judge made a throw home in an effort to prevent the tying run and ended up feeling pain in his elbow.

With Aaron Judge sidelined due to injury, the New York Yankees are reportedly exploring options from their Triple-A affiliate to bolster their lineup for the upcoming MLB regular season games.
