Aaron Judge has been placed on the injured list due to a right flexor strain. The Yankees plan for him to return after a minimum of 10 days, beginning as designated hitter. Although Judge played first base in high school and has worked out there, the Yankees will not consider transitioning him to first base midseason. Giancarlo Stanton will start workouts in the outfield, having not played there since 2023, as part of the strategy to address roster needs while Judge focuses on recovery.
