Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge return for final MLB regular season stretch

Major League Baseball enters its final three weeks of the regular season with two of its most prominent stars returning to active rosters. Shohei Ohtani rejoined the Dodgers lineup on Monday after missing four games due to knee and biceps injuries. His return follows a period of inconsistent play and a temporary halt to his plans to pitch. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge is set to rejoin the Yankees lineup on Tuesday. Judge has been sidelined since May 31 with a rib stress fracture. While the Dodgers hold a division cushion that may allow for additional rest for Ohtani, the Yankees prepare for their closing schedule with Judge back in the batting order. Fantasy managers and clubs remain focused on whether these players can regain form quickly during the final push toward the postseason.
