Aaron Judge last appeared in a game for the New York Yankees back on May 31. Yet his absence has not derailed the season one bit.
The Yankees have the second-best record in the American League at 81-62 and are chasing the Tampa Bay Rays for that overall top spot and for the AL East division crown. Of course, the World Series chances only increase if Judge is in the lineup.
The team knows this and decided to give fans a must-see Labor Day announcement regarding the star of the team.
Aaron Judge Returns With the Perfect Video
The Yankees began with a post on X noting Judge had returned from the IL. Things only got better for fans when the team dropped a hype video about his impending return.

It’s clear the Yankees’ social media team had this one ready to go for when Judge was cleared. “No Further Questions, Your Honor” is quite the caption to get fans hyped.
The Yankees are set to begin a three-game series at home against the Colorado Rockies starting Tuesday night. This means Judge can return against an easier opponent and ease his way back into game action. His return comes after he missed time due to a fractured rib. Such an injury makes it hard to swing a bat, throw a ball, or really do just about anything that involves motion.
His return will help the Yankees as the team aims to make up a four-game deficit against the division-rival Rays. The two teams do have a four-game series on the schedule beginning September 22, and Judge’s presence will have fans in New York feeling confident in all four games.
