There’s always areas of your game that you can try to get a little bit better at. That’s just a constant chase in the game that we play.”

Aaron Judge will lead the lines for the Yankees when they travel to Seattle to face the Mariners for a three-game series before hosting cross-town rivals the New York Mets later this month.
