Aaron Judge Reflects on Injury-Plagued Season After Yankees' Exit

Aaron Judge addressed the media following the New York Yankees' ALDS sweep by the Tampa Bay Rays, demanding that the organization go all-in to win championships. Judge endured an injury-ravaged 2026 campaign, playing just 66 games due to a rib fracture and a calf strain that sidelined him for the entire postseason. Finishing with a career-low .871 OPS in a full season, the Yankees captain emphasized that the franchise's historic standard requires championship contention every single year.
