But they will […]

Aaron Judge Gets A Breather

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

D.J. LeMahieu is Out on Tuesday

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees have a huge lead for homefield advantage in the playoffs, so resting their starters isn't a bad idea.

Mike Tauchman Likely Done for the Season

New York Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman (calf) is expected to miss the rest of the 2019 season following an injury.
