The New York Yankees are hovering near .500 after dropping their series finale to the Los Angeles Angels with a loss on Thursday. After a strong opening to the season, the team’s bats have gone quiet and fans have some reason for concern after the first 10% of the season wraps up.

Aaron Judge and Mike Trout joined Yankees legends Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris in MLB history during the Angels-Yankees series.

Aaron Judge quietly walked to his locker stall after a post-game shower. He dressed quickly and then silently watched the media creep his way. Following Sunday’s 5-4 loss to the Rays, the captain needed to address a terrible week of Yankees baseball.

Aaron Judge doesn't have to convince too many people just how special he is. But anyone who needs convincing still should look at this historic New York Yankees all-time record list. The board came across social media when Judge homered in the bottom of the first inning on Thursday afternoon at Yankee Stadium against the Los Angeles Angels.

The New York Yankees have had a mixed start to the 2026 season after a slew of disappointing results over the last two weeks.
