NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge was reinstated from the injured list by the New York Yankees and the record-setting slugger is expected back in the lineup Tuesday night against the Oakland Athletics.
The reigning AL MVP hasn't played since April 27 because of a right hip strain. He is batting .261 with six home runs, 14 RBIs and an .863 OPS in 26 games during his first season as Yankees captain.
New York (19-17) went 4-6 without Judge, averaging just 3.5 runs per game despite scoring seven in each of the past two.
