With Aaron Judge now officially on the 10-day injured list, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone laid out the potential path for his return to the lineup.

(Jon Blacker/The Canadian Press via AP) NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees star Aaron Judge was out of the lineup Saturday against Philadelphia because of an elbow injury.

Riding a four-run second inning against Phils’ starter Zack Wheeler, the Yankees held on for a 4-3 victory, getting 11 outs from their beleaguered bullpen. After veteran lefty Carlos Rodon exited with a one-run lead in the sixth, the foursome of Jonathan Loaisiga, Luke Weaver, Tim (every day) Hill and Devin Williams sewed up the win.

Ryan McMahon sparked a four-run second inning off Zack Wheeler by hitting a two-run double and the New York Yankees ended a four-game home losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.

The Yankees have had a need for a third baseman since releasing DJ LeMahieu and moving Jazz Chisholm back to the keystone. As of late, manager Aaron Boone has used a combination of Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas at the hot corner. Clearly New York, now 4 ½ games back in the American League East, was not satisfied with that arrangement.
