After losing star slugger Aaron Judge to the injured list with a flexor strain in his elbow, the New York Yankees are facing a tough decision on whether to buy or sell at Thursday's trade deadline.

In his third MLB start, Yankees' right-hander Cam Schlittler lasted 4.1 innings, yielding three runs on seven hits and four walks, with five strikeouts, in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

The New York Yankees struggled recently, but they still do not figure to be sellers. However, the injury to Aaron Judge could lead to them making some shocking moves.

Aaron Judge's elbow injury has altered the Yankees' plans during a down month of July — and could have altered them more, according to a new report.

The Washington Nationals are unquestioned sellers ahead of the MLB trade deadline. They've already sent out Amed Rosario to the Yankees. The only real question has been, which guys exactly will they be selling?

After tossing seven strong innings in his last start, Sandy Alcantara's name is back atop deadline wish lists, with USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale reporting that trade interest has soared. The 2022 NL Cy Young winner has struggled this season after missing all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery.
