Aaron Judge could return to Yankees lineup at Texas on Tuesday
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Aaron Judge could be back in the New York Yankees' lineup as early as Tuesday, when their captain is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list after being sidelined because of a flexor strain in his right elbow. Judge hit off Yankees minor league pitchers at the team's complex in Tampa for the second day in a row Monday, and was then expected to join the team in Texas. Manager Aaron Boone said the two-time AL MVP could be available Tuesday for the middle game of the three-game series. 'I don't want to say definitely because I haven't seen him yet, but I think that's the plan,' Boone said before Monday night's series opener against the Rangers. 'I think he's expected in here tonight and we'll make that call.' Judge hasn't played since July 25 because of an elbow strain. An MRI showed no acute damage to his ulnar collateral ligament and he had a platelet-rich injection July 27, when he was placed on the IL in a move retroactive to the previous day. His .342 batting average was still the best in the majors going into Monday's games. He was fourth with 37 homers and fifth with 85 RBIs. If Judge does return while in Texas, Boone said he will be the designated hitter. But the slugging outfielder could also play catch in the next day or so, which will help determine when he could return to the outfield. 'His arm will tell him,' Boone said. The first time Judge said he felt pain in the elbow was July 22 at Toronto, after he made a strong throw home after George Springer singled to right. An inning later, Judge winced after catching a fly in the right-field corner and throwing to second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. Judge was caught by a YES Network camera clenching his right hand in a fist.

Yankees bring in right-hander Kenta Maeda on minor league contract
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees have signed right-hander Kenta Maeda to a minor league deal. New York announced the move on Monday. The 37-year-old Maeda had been pitching for Triple-A Iowa, the top minor league affiliate for the Chicago Cubs, but he was released on Saturday. The Yankees assigned Maeda to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Maeda had a 7.88 ERA in seven relief appearances for Detroit before he was designated for assignment on May 1. He went 3-7 with a 6.09 ERA in 17 starts and 12 relief appearances in his first year with the Tigers after agreeing to a $24 million, two-year contract in November 2023. Maeda pitched well in his last two starts with Iowa, allowing one run and five hits in 12 innings. He went 3-4 with a 4.85 ERA in 12 starts with the Triple-A team overall. Maeda made his major league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016, going 16-11 with a 3.48 ERA in 32 starts. He went 6-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 11 starts for Minnesota during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, finishing second in AL Cy Young Award balloting. Maeda, who missed the 2022 season because of Tommy John surgery, is 68-56 with a 4.20 ERA in 226 major league games, including 172 starts. ___ AP MLB:
