Aaron Judge's status remains unaffected by any injury concerns as the New York Yankees prepare to host the San Francisco Giants tonight at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees slugger has been a dominant force this season with six home runs already to his name and is expected to be in the lineup for the April 11, 2025, 7:05 PM ET matchup against the San Francisco Giants. The clash features two of baseball's most potent power hitters, with Judge leading the Yankees' charge while Wilmer Flores powers the Giants' offense.
Aaron Judge's stellar performance powers New York Yankees' offense
Aaron Judge has been on a tear for the New York Yankees, leading the team with six home runs and 20 runs batted in through their first 12 games of the season. His power hitting has been instrumental in establishing the Yankees as the second-ranked offense in MLB, averaging 2.2 home runs per game with a total of 26 homers so far.
Tonight, the Yankees slugger will be up against Robbie Ray of the San Francisco Giants, who already has three wins this season. The Yankees are favored to win despite the San Francisco Giants' impressive pitching staff with the second best ERA (2.78) in the majors this season, and backed by Judge's formidable .265 team batting average.
New York Yankees face injury challenges against surging San Francisco Giants
While Aaron Judge remains healthy, the New York Yankees have been navigating a significant number of injuries. Their injured list currently includes Giancarlo Stanton (10-day IL, elbow), DJ LeMahieu (10-day IL, calf), and ace pitcher Gerrit Cole (60-day IL, elbow), among others. Despite these setbacks, the Yankees have maintained a respectable 7-5 record.
The San Francisco Giants enter tonight's contest with a superior 9-3 record and significantly fewer injury concerns, with only Jerar Encarnacion and Tom Murphy currently sidelined. The Giants will count on Mike Yastrzemski's team-leading .344 batting average and Jung Hoo Lee's .333 average with seven doubles to challenge Marcus Stroman, who takes the mound for the Yankees.
Fans can catch this exciting matchup tonight at 7:05 PM ET on YES Network and NBCS-BA as the Yankees look to improve their home record against one of the league's hottest teams.
