What happened

For seven innings Sunday, the Yankees lineup looked like it was missing a three-time MVP.

Why it matters

It had been exactly one week since Aaron Judge last played, and it is going to be many more weeks until he plays again because of a stress fracture in his first right rib.

Common ground

But the games continue without him and Sunday’s was moving along without much life from Yankees hitters, threatening to waste a fine day from Cam Schlittler and the bullpen.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
