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.

Stanton’s display of strength on Monday showed why the Yankees need to keep him in the lineup as much as they can, even with Judge expected to return from a flexor strain injury on Tuesday.
