Aaron Judge returned to the ranks of the New York Yankees after a 99-day hiatus, an interruption that, in a highly symbolic manner, coincided precisely with the number emblazoned on his jersey.

Aaron Judge retornó a las filas de los Yankees de Nueva York tras un hiato de 99 días, una interrupción que, de manera harto simbólica, coincidía exactamente con el número que ostenta en su camiseta.

Having fully recuperated from the rib fracture that had beset him, Judge took his position in right field and batted third in the lineup during the series opener against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday evening.

Tras haberse restablecido por completo de la fractura costal que lo había aquejado, Judge se alineó en el jardín derecho y ocupó el tercer puesto en el orden al bate durante el encuentro que inauguró la serie contra los Rockies de Colorado, en la velada del martes.

"He will not play the entirety of today's game, notwithstanding his fervent desire," declared Aaron Boone, the Yankees' manager.

"Él no disputará la totalidad del encuentro en la jornada de hoy, pese a su anhelo", declaró Aaron Boone, el mánager de los Yankees.

"It is plausible that he will be afforded a day of rest at some juncture during this series."

"Es probable que disfrute de una jornada de descanso en algún momento de esta serie".

A three-time American League Most Valuable Player, Judge had remained absent for eighty-four games since his last appearance on May 31st.

Tres veces designado Jugador Más Valioso de la Liga Americana, Judge había permanecido ausente durante ochenta y cuatro encuentros desde su última comparecencia el 31 de mayo.

The thirty-four-year-old veteran sought to persuade Boone to activate him following the hamstring strain sustained by center fielder Trent Grisham on Friday night.

El veterano de treinta y cuatro años intentó persuadir a Boone para que lo activara tras la distensión sufrida por el jardinero central Trent Grisham en el tendón de la corva la noche del viernes.

"In fact, he materialized on the threshold of my residence in San Diego after Grish sustained the injury: 'Ready to depart tomorrow'", Boone reminisced.

"De hecho, se materializó en el umbral de mi domicilio en San Diego después de que Grish sufriera la lesión: 'Listo para partir mañana'", rememoró Boone.

"He harbored no eagerness to undertake such an endeavor, for certain terminal assessments persisted that, without circumlocution, we required him to scrutinize."

"No ansiaba emprender tal empresa, pues subsistían ciertas verificaciones terminales que, sin ambages, requeríamos que él inspeccionara".

Judge conducted a batting practice session at Yankee Stadium on Monday, his designated rest day, and was reinstated to the roster that very evening.

Judge ejecutó una práctica de bateo en el Yankee Stadium el lunes, su día de descanso, y fue reintegrado al roster esa misma noche.

Boone had engaged in separate deliberations with Judge, as well as with the strength and conditioning coach Brett McCabe, who was subsequently consulted by the athletic training staff, general manager Brian Cashman, and owner Hal Steinbrenner.

Boone había mantenido conversaciones por separado con Judge, así como con el preparador físico Brett McCabe, a quien siguieron el equipo de entrenamiento atlético, el gerente general Brian Cashman y el propietario Hal Steinbrenner.

"Hal merely sought to ascertain where everyone stood on this matter, where we ourselves stood," Boone asserted.

"Hal únicamente anhelaba dilucidar en qué punto se hallaban todos con respecto a esto, en qué punto nos hallábamos nosotros", aseveró Boone.

Judge, who eschewed all press contact prior to the encounter, dispatched numerous home runs to right, center, and left field during Tuesday's batting practice.

Judge, quien omitió todo contacto con la prensa antes del encuentro, despachó múltiples cuadrangulares hacia el jardín derecho, el central y el izquierdo durante la sesión de bateo del martes.

He arrived at the contest with a batting average of .248, 17 home runs, 38 runs batted in, and an OPS of .907.

Arribó a la contienda con un promedio de .248, 17 vuelacercas, 38 carreras impulsadas y un OPS de .907.

Judge initially sustained the injury while endeavoring to elude second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. during an unsuccessful attempt to secure a fly ball in Houston on April 26, subsequently batting .263 with seven home runs and 20 RBIs across 31 contests prior to his placement on the injured list.

He had managed merely a solitary home run in the 18 games preceding his stint on the list.

New York boasted a 36-23 record following Judge's last appearance on May 31, and during his absence they amassed a 45-39 ledger.

Nueva York ostentaba un balance de 36-23 tras la última comparecencia de Judge el 31 de mayo, y durante su ausencia acumuló una foja de 45-39.

The Yankees batted .243 with 86 home runs and a .770 OPS across 59 contests through May 31, yet their output plummeted to .227 with 107 round-trippers and a .681 OPS while Judge remained sidelined.

Los Yankees batearon para .243 con 86 cuadrangulares y un OPS de .770 en 59 encuentros hasta el 31 de mayo, pero su producción decayó a .227 con 107 vuelacercas y un OPS de .681 mientras Judge permaneció marginado.

Their batting average during that stretch ranked twenty-ninth among the 30 major-league clubs, ahead of only Seattle, which posted .225.

Su promedio de bateo en ese lapso se situó en el vigésimo noveno lugar entre las 30 novenas de las Grandes Ligas, únicamente por delante de Seattle, que registró .225.

"We have remained unscathed in the fray," Boone asserted.

"Permanecimos incólumes en la lid", aseveró Boone.

"We have traversed phases in which our offense has devolved into a stumbling block of paramount magnitude for us."

"Hemos atravesado etapas en las que nuestra ofensiva ha devenido en un escollo de envergadura mayúscula para nosotros".

Rival pitchers exhibited markedly heightened aggression against the Yankees' other batters during Judge's absence, according to MLB Statcast data.

Los lanzadores rivales exhibieron una agresividad notablemente incrementada frente a los demás bateadores de los Yankees durante la ausencia de Judge, según los datos de MLB Statcast.

Ben Rice received 48.3% of pitches in the strike zone, in contrast to the previous 46.7%, while Cody Bellinger experienced an increase from 47.3% to 49.7% in that proportion.

Ben Rice recibió un 48.3% de lanzamientos en la zona de strike, en contraste con el 46.7% previo, mientras que Cody Bellinger experimentó un ascenso del 47.3% al 49.7% en dicha proporción.

"There is a halo effect surrounding him that engenders superior opportunities and more advantageous at-bats for the collective," declared Boone.

"Existe un efecto halo a su alrededor que propicia oportunidades superiores y turnos al bate más ventajosos para el colectivo", declaró Boone.

"We are an eminently left-handed lineup, and so it has been for the greater part of the season.

"Somos un lineup eminentemente zurdo, y así ha sido durante gran parte de la temporada.

Consequently, how many days per week do we manage to have a left-handed pitcher open the fifth inning, the seventh, and the ninth, and have those arms face us without having to navigate around Aaron Judge, who neutralizes such left-handers?"

Por consiguiente, ¿cuántas jornadas a la semana logramos que un lanzador zurdo abra la quinta entrada, la séptima y la novena, y que esos brazos se enfrenten a nosotros sin tener que sortear a Aaron Judge, quien neutraliza a dichos zurdos?"

New York arrived with an 81-62 record, trailing Tampa Bay, the American League East Division leader, by four games, and holding a two-game advantage over Boston (80-65) in the race for the American League's first wild card.

Nueva York arribó con un registro de 81-62, rezagado por cuatro juegos respecto a Tampa Bay, mandamás de la División Este de la Liga Americana, y aventajando por dos a Boston (80-65) en la pugna por el primer comodín de la Liga Americana.

The Yankees boast a potential tiebreaker advantage over the Red Sox, having prevailed in the season series.

Los Yankees ostentan un eventual desempate favorable sobre los Medias Rojas, habiendo prevalecido en la serie de la temporada.

In the preceding year, Judge boasted a batting average of .331, the highest of his career, complemented by 53 home runs and 114 runs batted in across 152 games, an achievement that earned him his third Most Valuable Player distinction and his first batting title.

El año pretérito, Judge ostentó un promedio de bateo de .331, el más elevado de su trayectoria, complementado con 53 cuadrangulares y 114 carreras impulsadas en 152 juegos, logro que le granjeó su tercera distinción como Jugador Más Valioso y su primer cetro de campeón de bateo.

Relief pitcher Fernando Cruz, sidelined from action since the 25th of August past owing to a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, has elected to forgo the surgical procedure known as Tommy John surgery, following an assessment by the Texas Rangers' team physician, Dr. Keith Meister, and harbors the expectation of returning to the mound in the course of the current season.

El relevista Fernando Cruz, marginado de la actividad desde el pasado 25 de agosto a causa de un desgarro parcial del ligamento colateral cubital en su codo derecho, ha resuelto desestimar la intervención quirúrgica conocida como Tommy John, tras ser evaluado por el facultativo de los Rangers de Texas, el Dr. Keith Meister, y alberga la expectativa de regresar al montículo en el transcurso de la presente temporada.

Cruz received a cortisone injection and is scheduled to resume his throwing sessions over the course of the current week.

Cruz recibió una inyección de cortisona y tiene previsto reanudar sus lanzamientos a lo largo de la presente semana.

"If it is destined to fracture, then let it fracture," he asserted.

"Si ha de fracturarse, que se fracture", aseveró.

"Should you perceive a crack or discern any anomalous acoustic signal, it is imperative to proceed with surgical intervention forthwith."

"Si percibes un crujido o detectas cualquier señal acústica inusual, es imperativo proceder a una intervención quirúrgica de inmediato".

The southpaw Ryan Weathers has been delivering pitches from a perfectly level surface, extending his range to 75 feet, in his relentless pursuit to overcome the flexor strain in his left forearm, an ailment that has kept him sidelined from competition since August 22.

El zurdo Ryan Weathers ha estado efectuando lanzamientos sobre una superficie perfectamente nivelada, extendiéndose hasta los 75 pies, en su tenaz empeño por superar la distensión del flexor del antebrazo izquierdo, dolencia que lo ha mantenido marginado de la competición desde el 22 de agosto.

Weathers intends to reclaim the mound on Wednesday and Thursday, grant himself a reprieve on Friday, and, in a subsequent turn, resume his toil from the hill.

Weathers se propone volver a ocupar el montículo el miércoles y el jueves, darse un respiro el viernes y, en un giro posterior, reanudar su labor desde la lomita.

He harbors the aspiration of assuming a relief role in the postseason.

Abriga la esperanza de asumir un rol de relevista en la postemporada.
