The Yankees are not considering having Aaron Judge play first base when he returns from the IL, a source told ESPN. He will be slotted at DH until he can play in the outfield.

The New York Yankees are without their star after Aaron Judge suffered a flexor strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list.

The Yankees were teetering in second place in the AL East when star outfielder Aaron Judge suffered an elbow injury shortly after the All-Star break. New York had been slumping in the summer, with a second-worst 14-23 record since June 13, and the injury to Judge will create even more of an uphill battle with the postseason nearing.
