As reported by MLB .com's Dave Sessions, the Yankees activated Judge from the 10-day injured list while placing outfielder Austin Slater on the 10-day IL himself with a hamstring strain.

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge makes his return to the lineup on Tuesday after being out with an elbow injury.

To make room for Judge on the roster, deadline acquisition Austin Slater was placed on the IL. Slater, acquired last Wednesday from the Chicago White Sox, exited in the second inning Monday night because of left hamstring tightness after running out a fielder's choice grounder.
