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

TAMPA — A few hours after Aaron Boone said the quiet part out loud — that Aaron Judge may not get “back to throwing like he normally does” the rest of the season as he deals with a flexor strain — the Yankees manager tried to backtrack slightly.

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.

New York Yankees Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton went back-to-back-to-back with home runs to open the game.

With Aaron Judge still rehabbing a right flexor strain, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the superstar’s throwing will likely be compromised for the rest of the 2025 season.

"I don't think we're going to see him [Aaron Judge] throwing like he normally does at any point this year, but that's okay," were the words of New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone appeared to partially retract comments he made earlier Tuesday on the state of Aaron Judge's arm.

And Aaron Judge. That's about as impressive a list of hitters as you could find anywhere in MLB history. Of course, that quartet is made up of New York Yankees, and they're now joined in franchise history. Those are the four players who have had at least four 40-homer seasons in their careers in the Bronx.
