SEATTLE (AP) — Aaron Judge hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning as the Yankees beat the Mariners 3-2 on Wednesday.

Soto is set to make his Yankee Stadium return for the Mets' three-game series in the Bronx that gets underway on Friday night.

Yankees star Aaron Judge has etched his name in franchise history with a dominant performance at the plate through the first 40 games of the 2025 season.

New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge recorded his 15th home run of the 2025 season on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners.

Mariners pitcher Carlos Vargas left a hanging slider in the zone and Judge demolished the ball to left center field for a towering, 444-foot home run. The 117.7 MPH blast was the hardest hit ball at T-Mobile Park in the Statcast era.

Grisham was the throw-in in last year's Juan Soto deal. New York could either try to bottle up this production for the rest of the year to maximize the return after losing Soto, or go the opposite way and trade Grisham while his value is at a high point.

Wright’s humility and grace, however, prevented him from taking the nickname too seriously. So when Yankees captain Aaron Judge took over the moniker this year after being named captain of the 2026 WBC Team USA, Wright gracefully passed the torch, even to a crosstown rival.

New York Yankees infielder Oswaldo Cabrera suffered what the team later said was a fractured ankle during the club's 11-5 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.
