Yankees: Aaron Judge might not regain arm strength this season
Manager Aaron Boone said the latest test of Judge's ailing right elbow is an opportunity for trainers to gauge his throwing strength, but cautioned he might not get that power all the way back immediately.
Boone did have Giancarlo Stanton in his lineup for the first time in three games, but didn't know when Judge would get the green light to play in the field. He's been exclusively a designated hitter instead of his usual position in right field since coming back from the injured list on Aug. 5.
"I don't know yet," Boone said Tuesday in a WFAN interview. "What I've said is I'm waiting on the trainers to say, 'Thumbs up.' He's expected to long-toss again today, so I don't expect it here in Tampa. Could it be Boston? Maybe. I just don't know yet."
Stanton, 35, started the season on the injured list with soreness in both elbows and made his season debut in June.
Boone said the Yankees are confident Judge, 33, will be able to "protect himself" even if he isn't throwing full steam at any point the rest of the season.
Judge, batting .333 with 39 home runs and 91 RBIs, had multiple extra-base hits for the first time this month on Saturday in St. Louis. He has a total of two home runs in the past 12 games.

World junior wrestling: Tapsya wins gold in 57kg, Srishti silver in 68kg
New Delhi: Indian wrestling has unearthed new talents at the World Junior Championships in Samokov, Bulgaria. Four Indian girls have stormed into the final of the U20 Worlds in the last two days, showing India's depth and class. File image of Tapsya (right). (HT/FILE) On Wednesday, Tapsya was up against Norway's Felicitas Domajeva in the 57kg final and went on to clinch the world junior title with a clinical performance. The 18-year-old showed good defensive skills and a flair for attack to come out a 5-2 winner. In fact, Tapsya had stunned Japan's defending champion Sowaka Uchida in a nail-biting 4-3 win on Tuesday. Tapsya entered the title contest with confidence. Domajeva, the first Norwegian wrestler to enter the World U20 Championships final, gave a tough fight with her fast attacks, but Tapsya was up to the task. She logged one point of passivity in the first period and then scored a series of takedowns in the second to clinch the title. It has been a whirlwind five weeks for Tapsya, having won both senior and junior world selection trials at the IG Stadium in back-to-back weeks. She will now be making her debut at the Senior World Championships in Croatia from September 13-21. The girl from Jhajjar won the U20 Asian Championships earlier this year, and came through some strong competitors in the domestic selection trials. 'I learn from every bout and I want to keep going till the end,' she had then told HT. India has been represented in the 57kg weight division in the last two Olympics through Anshu Malik, the 2021 World Championships medallist. But with Anshu unable to reproduce her form this season, a bunch of youngsters have shown the fire and hunger to take the mantle. With this victory, Tapsya has taken a big leap forward. Two years ago, her family shifted to Sonepat where she trains at the Yudhvir Akhada, an all-girls academy. 'Her father is a farmer and the family has shifted to Sonepat for her wrestling. She is hardworking,' said coach Seema Kharab. Till now, Antim Panghal was the only Indian female wrestler to win the world junior title, and she did it twice. In the 68kg final, Srishti lost to Japan's Ray Hoshino 10-0. Two other finalists, Priya Malik (76kg) and Reena (55kg), will compete in their finals on Thursday. Reena, the Asian U20 and U23 champion, defeated Alexandra Voiculescu by technical superiority in the semi-finals. She will take on Everest Shea Leydecker of the US in the final. In 76kg, Priya defeated Evelin Ujhelji of Serbia 10-0 in the semis. She will take on Nadiia Sokolovska of Ukraine in the final.

Yankees fall short of MLB homers record in 13-3 rout of Rays
Members of the New York Yankees celebrate after defeating the Tampa Bay Rays at George M. Steinbrenner Field. (Mandatory Credit: Jonathan Dyer-Imagn Images) Synopsis The New York Yankees exploded offensively, tying a franchise record with nine home runs in a dominant 13-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton led the charge with multiple homers, while Carlos Rodón pitched effectively. The Yankees' power surge overwhelmed the Rays, securing their fourth win on their road trip. The New York Yankees unleashed a historic power display on Tuesday night, bashing a franchise-record-tying nine home runs in a 13-3 rout of the Tampa Bay Rays. The barrage began immediately, as Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton hammered back-to-back homers off Rays starter Shane Baz in the first inning to seize a quick 3-0 lead. ADVERTISEMENT The Yankees matched the team record they set earlier this season in a 20-9 win against Milwaukee on March 29, falling just one short of the MLB record of 10 homers by the Blue Jays against the Baltimore Orioles in 1987. The win pushed New York to 4-0 on its five-game road trip. The offensive onslaught didn't let up. Bellinger, who went 4-for-5 with two homers, three runs and three RBIs, and Stanton, who added two blasts and four RBIs, carried the load alongside Judge, who clubbed his 40th homer of the season and scored three times. New York also got long balls from Jose Caballero (two), Jazz Chisholm Jr., and Ben Rice, completing the nine-homer explosion. On the mound, Carlos Rodón (13-7) delivered a solid outing, working six innings of two-run ball while striking out five. Baz (8-10), by contrast, lasted just three innings, surrendering six runs on seven hits — five of them homers. ADVERTISEMENT Caballero's return to Tropicana Field added a twist to the night. After a video tribute honored him before his first at-bat, the former Ray promptly drilled a two-run homer in the second inning, extending New York's lead to 5-0. He later added a ninth-inning blast to punctuate the Bay managed some offense, with Nick Fortes and Chandler Simpson driving in early runs, while Jake Mangum contributed an RBI single in the eighth. But the Rays were overwhelmed by the Yankees' relentless power, as the Bronx Bombers lived up to their nickname in emphatic fashion.
