Yankees expect Aaron Judge could return in September

The New York Yankees are optimistic about Aaron Judge's return sometime in September, contingent on his recovery from injury. Judge has not played since May 31 and has yet to begin a rehab assignment. Sources suggest that if he avoids setbacks, a mid-September return is possible, potentially aligning with significant matchups. This would allow Judge some time to readjust ahead of the playoffs. The Yankees seek his contributions to enhance their lineup in the postseason.
