Yankees reinstate Aaron Judge off 10-day IL, announce flurry of roster moves
The Yankees announced a slew of roster moves, highlighted by reinstating Aaron Judge off the 10-day IL.
The full list of roster moves:
• Returned RHP Mark Leiter Jr. (stress fracture in left leg) from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 15-day injured list
• Reinstated Judge (right flexor strain) from the 10-day injured list
• Recalled RHP Yerry de los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
• Placed OF Austin Slater on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain
• Designated RHP JT Brubaker for assignment
Earlier in the day, the Yankees also optioned reliever Jake Bird, a trade deadline acquisition, to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Judge is expected to be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday night in Texas against the Rangers, with manager Aaron Boone previously saying that Judge will likely DH for some time before getting back in right field.
The superstar missed only the minimum 10 days with his injury, but the Yankees went 4-6 without their captain in the lineup, including the team's current four-game losing skid.
Judge has been a force at the plate this season, posting a 1.160 OPS with 37 home runs and 85 RBI in 103 games.
Meanwhile, Slater, another trade deadline pick-up by general manager Brian Cashman, lands on the IL after exiting Monday's loss to the Rangers in the first inning. Slater reached first base on a fielder's choice, but said after the game that he felt something happen with his hamstring as he was running out of the box.

49ers trade for Chiefs receiver Skyy Moore, AP source says
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers agreed to a deal to acquire receiver Skyy Moore from the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday. A person familiar with the trade said the teams will swap sixth- and seventh-round picks in 2027 in the deal that sends Moore to San Francisco. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade can't be finalized until Moore passes a physical. Moore was drafted by Kansas City in the second round in 2022 but hasn't produced much in his first three seasons. He had 43 catches for 494 yards and one TD in 36 games. He didn't catch a single pass last season because of a a core muscle injury. Moore did catch a TD pass in the fourth quarter of Kansas City's 38-35 win in the Super Bowl against Philadelphia following the 2022 season. Moore had an 88-yard punt return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of a preseason game last Friday at Seattle. The 49ers have gone 227 consecutive regular-season games without a punt return touchdown for the second longest active drought in the NFL. The Niners were in dire need of healthy receivers. Brandon Aiyuk is working his way back from major knee surgery and isn't expected to be able to play until at least Week 6, while fellow starter Jauan Jennings has been out for most of training camp with a calf injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday on his radio show that Demarcus Robinson is facing a three-game suspension, pending appeal, after pleading no contest last month to a misdemeanor DUI charge. Rookie Jordan Watkins is out with a high ankle sprain and second-year pro Jacob Cowing is nursing a hamstring injury. Cowing hurt his hamstring the first day of training camp and returned to practice last week. Cowing tweaked the injury on Tuesday and missed practice Wednesday. ___ AP NFL:
