Baseball fans across the nation are celebrating today as the New York Yankees and Major League Baseball (MLB) are overwhelmed with excitement and joy following the long-awaited return of superstar outfielder Aaron Judge to the Yankees lineup.
After weeks of speculation and anticipation, the Yankees officially announced that Judge has been activated and will rejoin the team just in time for the final stretch of the regular season. His return is expected to inject a massive boost of energy, leadership, and firepower into the clubhouse as the team fights for a critical postseason berth.
Judge, who had been sidelined due to an injury earlier this season, has been rehabbing intensely and was reportedly ahead of schedule in his recovery. Fans flooded social media with reactions ranging from disbelief to ecstatic joy upon hearing the news.

“The game is just better when Judge is in it,” said MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. “He’s one of the premier faces of baseball, and having him healthy and competing again is a win for everyone — the fans, the league, and the sport as a whole.”
