The Yankees are in the middle of another series without their best player, as Aaron Judge has been out since May 31 with an injury.

According to the site, he could still return this month.

It’s worth pointing out that Judge can make MLB history when he resumes play.
He needs just one home run to tie Aramis Ramírez (386) for 70th on the all-time list.
Judge had been in the top-70 earlier this season, but several active players have moved ahead of him while he’s been out.
The three-time MVP last hit a home run on May 24.

He has spent his entire Hall of Fame career with the Yankees.
