Yankees: Aaron Judge launched his 41st home run, adding to his major league-leading total, and the Yankees beat the Blue Jays 8-3 on Saturday. Anthony Volpe and No. 9 batter Trent Grisham also hit two-run shots off José Berríos to help Carlos Rodón (12-7) win his third consecutive start after going 0-5 in his previous six. Volpe and Austin Wells each had an RBI single for the Yankees, who began the day tied with the Orioles atop the AL East after their five-game winning streak was snapped in the series opener Friday night. The Yankees entered having lost 16 of 22 home games for the first time since 1917. Benched for not running hard out of the batter’s box on a single off the wall Friday, Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres was back in the starting lineup as manager Aaron Boone promised. Torres went 1 for 4 with a single and a walk. He hustled into second base to beat a tag with a headfirst slide, and scored on Volpe’s home run that made it 6-1 in the fifth inning.

Rangers: Jacob deGrom is set to face hitters for the first time since an elbow operation last year, and Tyler Mahle is on the verge of his first start for the Rangers as he returns from Tommy John surgery in 2023. The languishing Rangers need the reinforcements for a pitching staff that has dealt with injuries all season, but the defending World Series champions know the medical considerations come first. “They’re not going to let you go before you’re supposed to,” deGrom said Saturday after what was supposed to be the final bullpen session for the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner before facing hitters. “The goal’s to get out there and help this team. Obviously I’ve been zero help this year, so the goal is to get out there and help us.”

Twins: The Twins All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa, who hasn’t played since July 12 due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot, was jogging on the field prior to Saturday’s game against the White Sox and said he is getting closer to returning. He met with the media Saturday and gave an update on the foot injury that landed him on the injured list in mid-July. “I felt way better than I felt three days ago. I was able to take ground balls for the first time,” Correa said. “I’m already doing my full routine in the cage, with the machine and everything. It’s just a matter of being able to sprint and be able to build up.” Correa said he has a timeline in mind for his return, but didn’t want to talk about the specifics. He noted that he needs a few more days to see how the injury progresses, and he will likely need a few games on a rehab assignment.

Nationals: Luis García Jr. was a triple shy of the cycle in his second straight three-hit game, Kyle Finnegan got a four-out save in his first outing since blowing a four-run lead and the Nationals beat the Brewers 6-4 on Saturday to stop a five-game losing streak. Travis Blankenhorn hit a two-run double on a ball that left fielder Jackson Chourio allowed to drop behind him at the base of the wall during a two-out rally as the Nationals took a 4-0, first-inning lead.
