The Yankees left St. Petersburg on Sunday with a series loss to the Rays, but also a reason for optimism: Aaron Judge was on the plane.
Last season’s MVP has not played since April 27, a day after he strained his right hip trying to steal third base, but he said Monday that he will be activated off the injured list Tuesday.
