Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is headed back to the injured list, this time with a right calf strain. It is highly unlikely Judge returns for the end of the regular season, and his status beyond that is uncertain as well. When healthy this year, Judge has an .871 OPS which is a poor season for his standards.

The Yankees are 89-64, four games behind the Rays for the AL East lead. They did already clinch a playoff berth, currently sitting atop the AL Wild Card standings by 11.5 games.

On Monday night, long-time fan favorite, as well as the Mets’ franchise home run leader, Pete Alonso, returned to Citi Field for the first time since signing with the Orioles.

There were many ovations, including the one shared by MLB Network as Alonso stepped up to the plate for his first at-bat of the night. For a few minutes whenever Alonso was at bat, it felt like the Mets fans cared more about the legend himself than they did about the actual game.

In terms of the actual game, Jonah Tong stole the show, allowing zero earned runs across six innings of work. An Orioles solo home run broke the 1-1 tie in the eighth inning, which ended up being the winning run. The Orioles took the series opener 2-1, and officially eliminated the Mets from playoff contention.
