New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge, a dominant right-handed hitter and MVP contender, has been sidelined since June due to a rib injury, highlighting the team’s over-reliance on him. With Judge, the Yankees have a record of 36-23 while averaging 5.1 runs per game; without him, they are 13-17 and fall to four runs per game. As they face a challenging upcoming schedule, the Yankees must improve to maintain their wild-card position in the playoffs. Despite some strong individual performances, the team desperately needs Judge’s return to regain offensive strength.
