ARLINGTON, Texas — Aaron Judge is back, which means Giancarlo Stanton is not. The Yankees activated Judge off the 10-day injured list Tuesday and slotted him into their lineup against the Rangers as the designated hitter — a role he will fill until he is cleared to play right field again as he works back from his right elbow flexor strain.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone addressed a Giancarlo Stanton decision after his absence from the lineup.
