Summary

The New York Yankees are set to continue their series against the Atlanta Braves after securing a 5-4 victory on Saturday. The Yankees are without Aaron Judge, who has been sidelined since May 31 due to a rib injury. Judge has begun light exercises and could potentially return in August, though pundit Bill Simmons expressed doubts about his availability for the rest of the season. The Yankees hope to wrap up a three-game sweep at home on Sunday afternoon.
