The Yankees are not considering having Aaron Judge play first base when he returns from the IL, a source told ESPN. He will be slotted at DH until he can play outfield.

New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge will go on the injured list with a flexor strain in his right elbow, but a scan showed no damage to the ulnar collateral ligament of the two-time AL MVP.

If it feels like Cashman is frantic, it’s only because the Yankees have looked so awful for the last six weeks. They’re 14-23 since June 13, which accounts for a stunning collapse on Aaron Boone’s watch. These are the same Yankees who had a seven-game lead in the East on May 28.
