The Yankees, who entered Tuesday with a 57-49 record and a 5½-game deficit in the American League East, have attempted to help offset Judge's absence by acquiring two new hitters over the last few days: third baseman Ryan McMahon and utility infielder Amed Rosario.

Judge initially hurt his elbow in Toronto on Tuesday and had difficulty throwing in Friday's game against the Phillies.

Cody Bellinger has replicated some of his old MVP magic for most of the year for a Yankees group desperately needing it.
