Aaron Judge Addresses Yankees' Recent Struggles After Loss to Tigers

New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge, currently sidelined due to a rib injury, commented on the team's recent performance following their sixth consecutive loss. After the Yankees' game against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, Judge stated, "Well, it’s not great. Just a little lack of focus. We just gotta dial it in. Our ultimate goal is to win a World Series." He emphasized the importance of motivation and focus for the team, noting, "That should motivate you every single day you step on that field, no matter what happens." Despite Judge's remarks, the Yankees lost to the Tigers 6-2 in 11 innings, marking their seventh straight defeat and leaving them three games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East standings. The Yankees remain in playoff contention, leading the American League Wild Card standings, but face stiff competition in the league. Judge mentioned that there is no set timeline for his return, as further imaging on his injury is pending. He expressed the need for patience regarding his recovery, stating, "You know how it goes around here — guys can feel good, feel bad, but you’ve got to wait on images."
