NO MORE RISING

Aaron Judge’s numbers continue to plummet with two more strikeouts amid an 0-for-4 showing, dropping his average to .161 since the All-Star break with 43 strikeouts, including at least one in 29 consecutive games.

Girardi gave Judge a game off last week in Cleveland, and sounded like he’s considering doing it again soon if his slump lingers, possibly even Sunday night against Boston ace Chris Sale.

“It’s something I can definitely think about,” Girardi said. “We’re trying to get him back on track, but it’s been a struggle. There’s no doubt about it the second half, but it’s definitely something I’ll think about.”
