Aaron Judge bats as designated hitter in Yankees lineup against Mets

The New York Yankees host the New York Mets for a Saturday matchup following a 6-4 victory on Friday. Manager Aaron Boone adjusted the batting order for the day game, moving Aaron Judge to the designated hitter position. The lineup includes Paul Goldschmidt at first base, Cody Bellinger in left field, and Austin Wells as the starting catcher. Gerrit Cole takes the mound for the Yankees, opposing Mets starter Zac Thornton. The Yankees enter the contest after a 13-hit performance on Friday that included a three-run homer from Cody Bellinger and three hits from Luis Garcia Jr. The team looks to continue their offensive production with a deeper roster since the return of Aaron Judge.
