Aaron Judge returned to the New York Yankees Tuesday from a 10-game stint on the injured list. His presence didn't shift the fortunes of a faltering Yankees team.

Aaron Judge didn’t ease into his return. After missing over two weeks with a strain in his right elbow, the Yankees’ captain was activated Tuesday and inserted as the designated hitter. But his presence wasn’t enough to stop the bleeding or the finger-pointing.

As reported by MLB .com's Dave Sessions, the Yankees activated Judge from the 10-day injured list while placing outfielder Austin Slater on the 10-day IL himself with a hamstring strain.
