3 years agoNew York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Kyle Higashioka could return to the team by next week. Both players tested positive for COVID-19 but may arrive in Boston with the team and are expected to make the team's trip to Tampa Bay. Judge's bat will be welcomed back with open arms, as he has been the team's most consistent hitter this season, posting a .282/.375/.526 slash line with 21 homers, 47 RBI, and 51 runs scored across 312 at-bats. He should continue to be a steady four-category player for fantasy managers in the second half. Higashioka has produced a decent .433 slugging percentage as Gary Sanchez's primary backup but presents more real-life value than fantasy value as a backstop who ranks in the 92nd-percentile in pitch framing.--Tim Capurso
