Yankees slugger Aaron Judge will return to action Tuesday against the Rangers, manager Aaron Boone said after his team lost its fourth straight game Monday.

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge will be activated from the injured list before Tuesday's game against the Rangers, manager Aaron Boone said after his team lost its fourth straight Monday.

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.
