Aaron Judge out of Yankees' lineup Saturday due to elbow injury
Aaron Judge is not in the New York Yankees' Saturday lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies due to an "elbow issue," manager Aaron Boone said. According to Boone, Judge had an issue throwing the ball from the outfield during Friday's series opener. He was taken for imaging, and the team is currently awaiting the results. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Judge was seen wincing and gripping his right hand after a throw during Tuesday night's win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The follow day he did not play right field but served as designated hitter. Boone said the slugger was "OK." "It's not much," Boone said. "It's just probably a throw that didn't feel great. He's not DH'ing because of that. I think he's all right." This is the first game Judge has missed this season for the Yankees, who are 56-47 and sit 5 1/2 half games behind the Blue Jays for first place in the AL East. They are set to face left-hander Ranger Suárez and the Phillies on Saturday. The Yankees have dropped three of their last four games, including a 12-5 defeat Friday in the series opener. Judge is putting up another MVP-caliber season for the Yankees. Through 103 games, he leads the majors in hits (129), OPS (1.160) and batting average (.342) and is second in home runs (37) and RBI (85). While Judge will sit for Saturday's game, the Yankees will welcome third baseman Ryan McMahon to the lineup after he was acquired in a Friday trade with the Colorado Rockies. McMahon will bat ninth as the team hopes it's found a solution to a struggling left side of its infield. The Yankees finish their series with the Phillies on Sunday afternoon before welcoming the Tampa Bay Rays for a four-game set beginning Monday.

Ichiro Suzuki stats: Hall of Fame's first Japanese star won awards, set records
A superstar overseas and for nearly two decades in Major League Baseball, Ichiro Suzuki's 2025 election to the Baseball Hall of Fame makes him the first Japanese-born player to be enshrined in Cooperstown. Suzuki's success in America was far from guaranteed when he became the first Japanese position player to join MLB, signing with the Seattle Mariners for the 2001 season. Suzuki hit .350 that year with 56 steals to win American League MVP and Rookie of the Year awards, helping the Mariners tie the MLB record with 116 wins in the regular season. In each of his first 10 seasons in MLB, Suzuki was named an All-Star, won a Gold Glove award and topped 200 hits. He wound up playing 19 MLB seasons – until the age of 45 – and racked up 3,089 hits, spending time with the New York Yankees and Miami Marlins late in his career, ultimately finishing his career back in Seattle. Suzuki's immediate success paved the way for Japanese position players to make the leap across the Pacific and he should also get some Japanese company in Cooperstown down the road, with Shohei Ohtani already winning three MVP awards since coming to America for the 2018 season. Here's a look at the new Hall of Famer's career accomplishments: Ichiro Suzuki career stats MLB – 19 seasons .311 average in 2,653 games 3,089 hits 509 steals Holds single-season hits record: 262 in 2004 10 consecutive 200-hit seasons: 2001-2010 Japan – nine seasons .353 average, .421 OPS, .943 OPS 1,278 hits in 951 games Ichiro Suzuki highlights Ichiro Suzuki awards MLB 2001 American League MVP 10-time All-Star: 2001-2010 10-time Gold Glove winner: 2001-2010 Two-time batting champion: 2001, 2004 2001 AL Rookie of the Year Japan Seven-time All-Star: 1994–2000 Japan Series champion: 1996 Three-time Pacific League MVP: 1994–1996 How old is Ichiro Suzuki?

Venezuelan baseball team denied visas into US, Little League International says
A Venezuelan baseball team was denied visas into the United States and will miss this year's Senior Baseball World Series, Little League International confirmed Friday. The Cacique Mara team, from Maracaibo, Venezuela, was scheduled to participate in the tournament after winning the Latin American championship in Mexico. 'The Cacique Mara Little League team from Venezuela was unfortunately unable to obtain the appropriate visas to travel to the Senior League Baseball World Series,' Little League International said in a statement, adding that it is 'extremely disappointing, especially to these young athletes.' The Venezuelan team traveled to Colombia two weeks ago to apply for their visas at the U.S. embassy in Bogotá. The embassy did not immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment. 'It is a mockery on the part of Little League to keep us here in Bogotá with the hope that our children can fulfill their dreams of participating in a world championship,' the team said in a statement. 'What do we do with so much injustice, what do we do with the pain that was caused to our children?' Venezuela is among a list of countries with restrictions for entering the U.S. or its territories. President Donald Trump has banned travel to the U.S. from 12 other countries, citing national security concerns. Earlier in the month, the Cuban women's volleyball team was denied visas to participate in a tournament in Puerto Rico. 'They told us that Venezuela is on a list because Trump says Venezuelans are a threat to the security of his state, of his country,' said Kendrick Gutiérrez, the league's president in Venezuela. 'It hasn't been easy the situation; we earned the right to represent Latin America in the World Championship.' The Senior League Baseball World Series, a tournament for players aged 13-16, is played each year in Easley, South Carolina. It begins Saturday. The tournament organizers replaced the Venezuelans with the Santa Maria de Aguayo team from Tamaulipas, Mexico, the team that was a runner-up in the Latin American championship. 'I think this is the first time this has happened, but it shouldn't end this way. They're going to replace us with another team because relations have been severed; it's not fair,' Gutiérrez added. 'I don't understand why they put Mexico in at the last minute and left Venezuela out.'
