THE BRONX, NY — Aaron Judge is back in right field for the first time since returning from the injured list on August fifth. Judge playing in right field makes the Yankees a much better team.
Judge suffered a flexor strain the last time the Yankees played Toronto at Rogers Centre throwing a ball in from right field with a troubling grimace on his face.

It took a month for Judge to return from Right Field with Giancarlo Stanton holding down the duties in right field, only affecting the game, which occurred on Wednesday in Houston when a ball went over his head late in the game that should have been caught.
This also gives the Yankees the benefit of putting their best defensive outfield and best lineup out every game since Stanton can now have every at-bat in the game and not have to worry about the pinch-hit game.
