Judge took live batting practice and faced live pitching as New York weighs adding the 34-year-old MVP to its Wild Card roster.
- On Tuesday, the New York Yankees officially announced their Wild Card rotation, naming right-hander Cam Schlittler to start Game 1 against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.
- Manager Aaron Boone deliberated extensively on the pitching order, considering "three or four different iterations" while weighing pitcher rest against the urgent need to secure Game 1 victory.
- Left-Hander Max Fried will start Game 2 and right-hander Gerrit Cole will pitch Game 3 if necessary, with Schlittler's selection following his dominance last year when he struck out 12 in eight scoreless innings.

- This best-of-three series at Yankee Stadium determines which team advances to the American League Division Series against the AL East-winning Tampa Bay Rays, marking the seventh postseason meeting between the historic rivals.
