Yankees enter a pivotal week riding a strong run and a five-point watch list: Judge’s right-arm health could curb RF throwing, Stanton may share the burden or shift to DH, signaling becomes a subtle chess match with opponents decoding grips, Volpe and Caballero duel for the shortstop job with Caballero’s speed adding lift, Schlittler must rebound against Detroit, and the trip to Fenway to face the Red Sox caps a brutal stretch—NY on a path toward another AL East push if these threads align.

Aaron Judge guided the Yankees to a 4-3 win over Toronto by signaling to alert Ben Rice on Scherzer’s changeups, flipping a 3-0 deficit into a New York rally. Judge stayed involved with a diving catch that staved off a Jays threat and reinforced his two-way value.

Cody Bellinger’s signaled setup and Rice’s three-run homer highlight a game where tipping and defense shaped the scoring. Scherzer acknowledged he hasn’t fully patched the tipping, and New York’s win trims Toronto’s lead in the AL East, with Rice flashing power against top-tier arms and Judge delivering multi-faceted fantasy value.
