Judge on the season is hitting .321 heading into Sunday's contest. He is also approaching 100 RBIs for the second consecutive season. New York is pushing the Toronto Blue Jays for first in the American League East. The Yankees are two games behind Toronto, heading into Sunday.
Only Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, and Joe DiMaggio have more home runs than Judge in a Yankees uniform. Judge has a chance to move past DiMaggio this season. DiMaggio has 361 home runs on the Yankees home run list, per StatMuse. Judge just now needs three more homers to tie that mark.
Ruth has the franchise home run record, with 659. Mantle is in second with 536, and then Gehrig with 493. Judge would have to stay healthy and keep hitting moonshots at a rapid pace to catch up to those numbers.
New York is 76-60 on the season, heading into Sunday's game with Chicago. The Yankees hope to sweep the four-game series.
