Last year, Judge had 18 first-inning home runs. He's the first player in MLB history to have two seasons of 15 or more first-inning homers, according to Baseball Reference researcher Katie Sharp. It's a remarkable feat, really. Judge has hit 37.5% of his home runs this season in the first inning.

The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays are playing a two-game series this week at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla.

New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge is likely to have his throwing limited the rest of the season as he recovers from a flexor strain, manager Aaron Boone revealed Tuesday morning. Judge missed 10 days with the injury spanning late July and early August, and he has been limited to DH duty since returning. He is on a throwing program.
