Here are the lineups. For the Phillies:

For the Padres:

Let’s talk about it.

Aaron Judge has a bone bruise near his right shoulder, New York manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday before the Yankees game against the Cleveland Guardians. This will be the first game Judge has been out of the Yankees lineup this season.

The team later clarified that the imaging revealed a bone bruise to Judge's rib, not his shoulder. He feels the discomfort in the shoulder. It's not the first time he has had an issue with his right ribs.

The two-time reigning American League MVP underwent imaging Monday. Boone called the injury a nagging issue and said Judge could be back in a few days. A firm timeline will not be set until Judge meets with team doctors later Tuesday.

Yankees depth thin in the outfield

With Jasson Dominguez and Giancarlo Stanton on the injured list, the Yankees are actually very thin in the outfield right now. Tuesday night, Boone will have utility infielder Jose Caballero in right field for Judge. Spencer Jones, who had been called up last month, was optioned back to Triple-A Scranton on May 22 after struggling at the plate.

Well, that explains a lot about the stuff that needed explaining. Aaron Judge was sitting out tonight’s game against Cleveland for the first time all year, and manager Aaron Boone let us know why: a bone bruise.

I share Boonie’s hope that this is a day to day concern, though it does raise more questions. Yankee players playing through pain only for the injury to linger or worsen has been a hallmark of Boone’s time as manager, and that it now involves the team’s most important player is only going to increase that scrutiny. We also have to reckon with how much that injury may have tamped down Judge’s usual MVP-level performance. It’s worth noting that Hoch later told us that it was the Captain’s right shoulder, or top hand, which typically helps drive more power into your swing than the bottom hand.

In particular, the way this shoulder soreness has lingered also makes me skeptical about recovery. I don’t want to have both Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge on the IL at the same time, but if a shorter, immediate stint is the best path to getting 100 percent Judge back, I’ll take that over a strained day-to-day process where they try to wait something out.

Whatever path the Yankees end up taking, any game without No. 99 in the lineup, even if he’s a .950 OPS instead of a 1.050 OPS, is going to be felt. Someone else further down the line will have to step things up, starting against the Guardians in a couple hours. In the meantime, they’ll line up Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, and José Caballero from left to right in the outfield, with Paul Goldschmidt sliding into the No. 2 spot in the lineup against the lefty Joey Cantillo.

As you well know, Jordan Wicks’ two starts as a Cub this year were.. uh… less than successful.

With Edward Cabrera and Matthew Boyd due back soon and Javier Assad available, it’s likely someone else will take the next rotation turn that would have been Wicks’.

As a result, Wicks was optioned back to Triple-A Iowa today to make room for what will likely be an extra reliever for a few days until that starter is needed.

That reliever is right-hander Tyler Ferguson, who the Cubs acquired from the A’s last month, so he’ll be facing his old team if he gets into a game before Friday. With the A’s this year, Ferguson pitched in just one game, throwing 1.1 innings and allowing four runs. Last year he posted a 4.66 ERA and 1.328 WHIP in 56 relief outings for the A’s, and at Iowa this year he’s appeared in six games, throwing 7.2 innings with a 3.52 ERA and 1.174 WHIP.

As noted, this is probably only for a few days until the Cubs next need a starter for the spot Wicks was occupying. As always, we await developments.

It was a surprise not to see Aaron Judge’s name in the Yankees’ lineup against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night.

Manager Aaron Boone met with reporters later in the afternoon and gave his explanation, and it’s not what Yankees fans want to hear.

Per Boone, Judge is dealing with a bone bruise in his upper right rib, and feeling it through his right shoulder. The good news, though, is that Judge is currently day-to-day.

“He’s been, kind of the last couple of weeks, dealing with some shoulder soreness, just kind of nagging,” Boone said. “And then over the weekend, the last couple of games in Sacramento, I think it became a little more than that, where I noticed on some swings and stuff. 

“So, we got some imaging last night. We think overall good news, showing a bone bruise. He’s going to meet with the doctor tonight, so hopefully, a day-to-day situation. Could be a few days, could be longer. I don’t know for sure.”

Boone said that there’s not one exact moment when Judge suffered an injury, but it’s fair to say it’s “probably something that’s been affecting him a little bit here recently.”

Over his last 18 games, Judge is hitting an uncharacteristic .206 with a .309 slugging percentage, hitting just one home run during that span.

Time will tell whether or not Judge ultimately needs a stint on the IL, but for now, the hope is that a few days of rest will do the job.

"Hopefully, this is something that we get calmed down here and put it behind us," Boone said.

According to the YES Network’s Jack Curry, the Yankees are shifting flame-throwing pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange to the bullpen. The 23-year-old had made 11 starts for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, but will now begin to adjust to pitching in relief.

It’s a clear signal from the Yankees, who will see if Lagrange can help improve their bullpen from within. Lagrange’s numbers as a starter this year are nothing to write home about, a 4.41 ERA in 49 innings with 63 strikeouts against 25 walks, but the young fireballer still profiles as one of the best bets to contribute to the Yankee bullpen down the stretch. That’s thanks to his pure power stuff; Lagrange has been the hardest thrower in the minors this year, dialing things up to 103 mph, to go along with a 60-grade slider.

All that said, while Lagrange’s shift to relief may make it seem that a promotion to the bullpen in the Bronx is imminent, it’s very possible that the Yankees let Lagrange take some time to adapt to his new role. Moving Lagrange to the bullpen now gives the young pitcher ample time to make adjustments, and gives the club time to fully evaluate the state of their roster and farm system before making moves during trade deadline season. That the Yankees are willing to commit him to this role so early shows both foresight, and confidence in Lagrange’s ability to make an impact at the highest level as soon as this summer.

Though there’s still hope that Lagrange could contribute as a starter in the future, he’s most valuable to the Yankees right now as a reliever, and it’s exciting to see that his time in the majors could begin sooner rather than later. Lagrange’s road to the bigs is clear as long as he can keep things on the rails working out of the ‘pen for Scranton.
