## Resource

Aaron Judge is back and ready to crush it — the Yankees’ captain has been activated from the injured list after missing since May with a rib fracture, and his return hits at the perfect moment in the AL East race. His presence instantly shifts the balance, especially for the surging Boston Red Sox, who’ve won five straight and are now just games behind. Even if his pre-injury stats weren’t MVP-level, Judge’s power and presence force pitchers to rethink their game plans and relieve pressure on his teammates. But with no rehab assignment and a big gap in playing time, how quickly he adjusts remains uncertain. For Boston, the message is clear: keep winning, stay relentless, and let the Yankees’ new challenge be their own problem.
