Yankees Expected To Move Aaron Judge Back To Right Field In 2025

The New York Yankees are expected to move Aaron Judge back to right field for the 2025 season, according to a report.
Judge has appeared in right field during more than 75% of his career games in the outfield but played center field almost exclusively in 2024 in order to accommodate Juan Soto.
\"We\'re not afraid to run [Judge] out in center like we\'ve done, but I think it makes sense to have him over in right,\" Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said.
Cashman went on to suggest that sliding Judge back to his natural position offers top outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez a \"clear lane\" to capture the starting center field job.
