BRONX, NY – AUGUST 04
Aaron Judge, recovering from a rib injury, has shown promising signs prior to his layoff, boasting a .264/.403/.628 slash line and a peak OPS of 1.067 earlier this season. Despite struggling post-injury with an OPS of .665 before withdrawing from the lineup, projection systems like ZiPS anticipate Judge returning at an elite level, forecasting a 173 wRC+ and over 8 WAR per 700 plate appearances. With his comeback rumored in the next two weeks, expectations remain high for Judge to regain his former dominance. Tonight, the Yankees face the Astros at Yankee Stadium.
