Ryan mcmahon set to make his new york yankees debut, batting eighth against philadelphia
Ryan McMahon moved into DJ LeMahieu's old locker between Trent Grisham's and Anthony Volpe's, then took over at third base on Saturday in his New York Yankees debut. New York acquired the 2024 All-Star from Colorado on Friday for a pair of 22-year-old pitchers in the low minors – right-hander Josh Grosz and left-hander Griffin Herring – and inserted the 30-year-old into the eighth spot in the batting order against Philadelphia. This is every kid's dream, you know, when you're 9, 10 years old and hitting little balls in the backyard, you're pitching yourself Game 7 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, so it's going to be pretty cool, McMahon said. McMahon was hitting .217 with 16 home runs and 35 RBIs for last-place Colorado, which is in Baltimore this week. The Yankees arranged for an Uber. McMahon went straight to Yankee Stadium and dropped his gear off at about 8:15 to 8:30 p.m., then watched the rest of New York's 12-5 loss to Philadelphia on his phone. He had been in the clubhouse for a while Saturday before his locker name plate arrived 2 1/2 hours before game time following an express delivery from TAG UP, the company in Minnesota that manufactures them. McMahon wore No. 24 with the Rockies, which is used by current Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez. He chose 19, his dad's high school number and the jersey used by Charlie Blackmon, a Rockies teammate he admired. It also was used in 2003 by current Yankees manager Aaron Boone. 'I didn't think about it,' Boone said. 'It's pretty cool.' McMahon was teammates with LeMahieu on the Rockies in 2017-18. LeMahieu was released by the Yankees on July 10 after hitting .266 with two homers, 12 RBIs, and a .674 OPS. McMahon was hitting .300 with three homers and seven RBIs in six games following the All-Star break. His 127 strikeouts trailed only the 138 of Detroit's Riley Greene, and strikeouts could trigger booing from fans already antsy over the Yankees' two-month slide. 'It comes with the territory, right? The fans are entitled to their opinion and they can do whatever they want,' McMahon said. 'My goal is going to be to play winning baseball. I'm going to try to do everything I can and try to keep the blinders on and let the noise be the noise, but hopefully we get more cheering than booing.' He had 198 strikeouts two years ago and 185 last season. 'Strikeouts happen when I'm not doing proper things, right? I think they drop down considerably when I have a better approach and take a better swing,' he said. 'I think it's something you're always trying to address.'

Phillies' Aaron Nola will make his first minor league rehab start on Thursday
Philadelphia pitcher Aaron Nola will make his first injury rehabilitation start Thursday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley at Worcester as he works his way back from a sprained right ankle and fractured rib that have sidelined him since May. Nola threw batting practice on Friday. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Saturday the 32-year-old right-hander will throw about 60 pitches in the Triple-A game. Nola hurt the ankle during agility drills on May 8. He made a pair of ineffective starts and was placed on the IL effective May 15. Nola threw a bullpen session June 1 and felt sore a few days later. An MRI showed a stress fracture of a rib Thomson revealed June 10. On the IL for a physical injury for the first time since 2017 Nola was 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA in nine starts and 49 2/3 innings. Right fielder Nick Castellanos was out of the starting lineup Saturday a day after getting hurt in the Phillies 12-5 win over the Yankees. 'The last play last night where he went back toward the wall just kind of jammed his left knee a little bit,' Thomson said. 'He came in a little bit sore today so keep him out see how he is tomorrow.' Alec Bohm is to meet up with the Phillies on Sunday travel with the team to Chicago and be evaluated. Bohm broke a left rib when hit by a 92.2 mph Yu Darvish pitch at San Diego on July 12. The third baseman and first baseman returned July 18 following the All-Star break then went on the injured list. 'Still a little bit sore,' Thomson said.

Aaron Judge is out for the Yankees' game against the Phillies because of an elbow injury
Yankees star Aaron Judge was out of the lineup Saturday against Philadelphia and was sent for imaging of his right elbow–a worrying development for a team that has been sliding down the standings for two months. 'Obviously concerned,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. 'We'll wait and see as they read the imaging.' Boone wouldn't speculate whether the injury involved Judge's ulnar collateral ligament. 'Hopefully it's something that is manageable and we can get through,' Boone said. A two-time AL MVP, Judge leads the major leagues with a .342 batting average and 1.160 OPS. He has 37 home runs and 85 RBIs for a New York team that opened a seven-game AL East lead by late May but started Saturday a season-high 5 1/2 games back of first-place Toronto. Judge winced at Toronto on Tuesday after catching Alejandro Kirk's seventh-inning fly in the right-field corner and throwing to second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. as Dante Bichette tagged up and went from second to third. Judge was seen by a YES Network camera clenching his right hand in a fist. 'He had a throw in Toronto where it zinged him–it hurt,' Boone said. Judge was a designated hitter the following day in Wednesday's series finale, which Boone said then was planned. He was in right field for Friday's series-opening 12-5 loss to Philadelphia, then was out of the lineup for the second time this season. 'Felt like he was fine on the off day and then just last night was really dealing with it. He couldn't really throw well from the outfield,' Boone said. Boone said Yankees team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad was to read the imaging Saturday.
