Aaron Judge activated from 60-day injured list by New York Yankees
PUBLISHED Sep 7, 2026, 9:00 PM ET
The New York Yankees officially reinstated three-time MVP outfielder Aaron Judge from the sixty-day injured list on Monday night following a three-month absence caused by a broken right rib sustained on May thirty-first. Judge rejoined the active roster without completing a minor league rehabilitation assignment, relying instead on intensive batting practice and base-running sessions during the team's recent West Coast road trip. With nineteen regular-season games remaining, the Yankees hold an eighty-one to sixty-two record, standing four games behind the first-place Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East division race. New York currently maintains a two-game advantage over the Boston Red Sox for the top American League wild card position, holding the tiebreaker advantage after winning the season series. Securing this top seed ensures home-field advantage throughout every round of the best-of-three Wild Card Series.
