Yankees’ Aaron Judge makes 29-team home run history with opposite-field bomb vs. Cardinals originally appeared on The Sporting News Aaron Judge has hit a lot of home runs for the New York Yankees. But before Saturday night, one kind was lacking.

Decorated slugger Aaron Judge missed almost two weeks with an elbow injury spanning from July to August, but both he and the New York Yankees are now in a better place. The two-time AL MVP returned on August 5 and has been the Yankees’ designated hitter since then, before he eventually goes back to the outfield.

Instead, Aaron Judge recorded his first career home run against the Cardinals, and Scott injured his ankle after a midair collision with the wall. He stayed in the game but underwent an MRI later that night to determine the severity of the injury, per MLB.com’s John Denton.
