The New York Yankees could opt for a dramatic change of course as their hot start to the season is a distant memory, while they hit a skid before the trade deadline.

Judge admitted his injury had heavily impacted his throwing ability. “I couldn’t throw past 60 feet,” Judge told Boone after Friday's game.
