Summary
Aaron Judge went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Tuesday in his first game since May 31, then exited after six innings as the Yankees managed his workload.
The Yankees treated the Colorado series as a quasi-rehab assignment after Judge returned from a right rib stress fracture and pushed to come straight back to the majors.
Heliot Ramos supplied the breakthrough instead, crushing a three-run homer in the eighth from Judge’s vacated lineup spot to seal a 5-3 win over Colorado.
Judge’s return comes with New York chasing Tampa Bay in the AL East after hitting just .227 as a team during his 84-game absence.
