New York Post | Dan Martin<\/a>: A day after returning to the field for the first time since suffering a right elbow flexor strain on July 25th, Aaron Judge reverted to DH duty Saturday, holding Giancarlo Stanton out of the lineup in the process. Jasson Dom\u00ednguez started in left with Cody Bellinger in right \u2014 a decision that ended up working out nicely<\/a> considering Dom\u00ednguez\u2019s RBI hit and Bellinger\u2019s missile throw home to nail Bo Bichette as the potential tying run during the Yankees\u2019 win.<\/p>\n

Back to Judge though: after a contentious media availability Friday, Aaron Boone confirmed that his captain is not at full strength in the field. Boone indicated that the team worked on alternate cutoff throws to ease him back into play. \u201cWe worked [on it] the last couple of weeks. If you guys were paying attention, we worked on different creative cuts and stuff like that.\u201d the Yankee manager (condescendingly<\/a>) sniped before Saturday\u2019s game. \u201cWe\u2019ll continue to do that and hopefully evolve it as we go.\u201d Blue Jays skipper John Schneider acknowledged a conscious attempt to test Judge\u2019s arm Friday in a sequence that led to a run scoring easily due to an alternate cutoff throw.<\/p>\n

ESPN | Associated Press<\/a>: Astros outfielder Taylor Trammell will not face discipline for a bat that was removed from play on Thursday. He said that he met with MLB, who informed him of the latest update. Yankees manager Aaron Boone asked the umpiring crew to look at Trammell\u2019s bat due to some discoloration around the barrel. Since bats are required to consist of two sections, each with one solid color, Trammell\u2019s bat was deemed to be nonconforming but in a manner that did not give him a competitive advantage. For his part, the former Yankee was circumspect about the incident. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a cool, funny little story,\u201c he said Friday. \u201dRespect for both organizations, and glad how everything kind of turned out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boone himself was fine with the decision and remarked that he was primarily just doing his due diligence. \u201cFrankly, that was something hard for me to do because I don\u2019t think Taylor was up to anything. I really don\u2019t,\u201d Boone said. \u201cIn the moment, I felt like a duty to at least check in for my team. But you know, I\u2019m frankly satisfied with the ruling, the explanation.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York Post | Erich Richter<\/a>: CC Sabathia will be honored today at 1pm ET at Yankee Stadium for his 2025 National Baseball Hall of Fame induction. When asked about the current team, he took an opportunity to defend Anthony Volpe in a recent interview amidst the embattled shortstop\u2019s difficult season on both sides of the ball. \u201cPeople need to relax,\u201d he told Richter. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to develop\u00a0young talent here. Just because of\u00a0the demand, right? Like, we\u2019re trying\u00a0to win the World Series every year. You\u00a0don\u2019t have time for guys\u00a0to go through growing pains.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hall of Famer compared Volpe to Miguel Andujar and Gary S\u00e1nchez*, two other once-promising youngsters who never fulfilled their potential in pinstripes. Sabathia also discussed his love of retirement (\u201cMan, I\u00a0should have retired 15 years ago\u201d) and upcoming charity golf event through the PitCCh In Foundation.<\/p>\n

*Editor\u2019s note: Love CC to death, but I can\u2019t help myself in this instance. Volpe has never had a season as good as Gary\u2019s 2016-17, and I\u2019d argue for Miggy\u2019s 2018 to be better, too. The man has no consistent big-league track record to fall back on as proof that he can do this. \/steps down off soapbox\/ \u2013 AM<\/p>\n

Finally, the Yankees paid tribute to a former rival prior to yesterday afternoon\u2019s game. Davey Johnson played against the Yanks with the Orioles from 1965-72, contributing to two World Series champions and four pennant winners. He later had a long managerial career, most famously leading the crosstown Mets to a 1986 World Series triumph over the Red Sox. Johnson later returned to Baltimore and managed against New York in the 1996 ALCS, which Joe Torre\u2019s club won in five. He made the playoffs with the Reds and Nationals as well before retiring in 2013. It was a helluva career for the popular skipper, who passed away on Friday at age 82.
