00:00Yankees manager confirms Major Aaron Judge update.

00:04Aaron Judge is back where he belongs, in right field,

00:07as the Yankees charge into their most important series of the season against division rival Toronto.

00:13That's right, the two-time MVP is out of the DH bubble and back patrolling the grass,

00:17glove in hand, for the first time since July 26th.

00:21What kept him away?

00:23A nagging flexor strain in his forearm made throwing about as advisable

00:27as using a flamethrower to light birthday candles.

00:30Judge spent a month as a full-time DH, which was notable,

00:33but Yankees fans held their breath whenever a ball went to right field.

00:36Now, he's easing back in with Aaron Boone being cautious.

00:40Judge shares time in right with Giancarlo Stanton,

00:43who's currently DH-ing to avoid chasing fly balls in the Bronx Heat,

00:47as they face Kevin Gaussman and the Jays.

00:49But Judge isn't the only player pushing through pain.

00:53Jazz Chisholm Jr. returns to second base and hits fifth,

00:56days after taking brutal knocks to both knees.

01:00Tests revealed no ligament damage, just contusions,

01:03allowing him to suit up and potentially influence New York's postseason fate.

01:07He was hobbled against Houston, yet his gritty determination shines as it's do-or-die time,

01:12and the stars are stepping up.

01:14And make no mistake, this series matters.

01:17The AL East is fiercely competitive, with Toronto holding a three-game lead,

01:23while the Yankees edge out the Red Sox by half a game in the wildcard race.

01:28Interestingly, all three teams, Jays, Yanks, and Sox,

01:31boast better records than the division-leading Astros.

01:34Every pitch could secure October dominance or spell early exit.

01:38The drama's thick, the rosters are stacked, and the stakes?

01:43Oh, they're sky high!
