New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has been a talking point in the league this week during their series with the Toronto Blue Jays. Judge peaked towards his dugout moments before blasting a no-doubt home run. It got the baseball world wondering what exactly he was looking at.

Judge has seemingly turned that into motivation. In that series, he unveiled a new eyes-closed hit celebration and has now hit his seventh homer in seven days. Nobody is hotter at the plate right now.

This was Judge's 13th home run of the year. Even with going on an IL stint, he's now one homer behind Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia. Only Garcia, Pete Alonso and Max Muncy have hit more this season.

The reigning American League MVP is returning to the form that blasted a league-record 62 homers last season. This is exactly what the New York Yankees need to turn it around and gain ground in the American League East.

"I'm so glad he's gonna be a Yankee forever," one fan tweeted.
"Bro remembered he's Aaron Judge," another fan tweeted.

New York Yankees fans are ecstatic to see Aaron Judge back in prime fashion. This could be the start of him taking over the league once again.

Judge looks like he's playing with a chip on his shoulder, and that's the last thing the rest of the league wants. He's a player who thrives when he has something to prove.

Going into the weekend, the Yankees are in fourth place in the American League East. They have a 26-20 record, seven games behind the league-leading Tampa Bay Rays.

They're not necessarily playing bad baseball. The division is the most competitive in baseball. Take the Yankees and move them to National League Central; they would be in first place.

Injuries have hurt this team to start the season, but they're preparing to get some key players back soon. Pitcher Luis Severino has been on a rehab stint for a few weeks and is expected back Sunday.

Another key player getting ready to come off the IL is Giancarlo Stanton. He's been on the IL since April 16 with a hamstring injury. It's rumored that he'll start his rehab stint as soon as next week.

Given Judge's recent performance at the plate and the return of some key players, watch out for the Yankees.
